Beauty is the eye

Saw this pic driving down a back road to shoot an old abandoned church. I'm just learning to play with layers so there are quite a few on this baby. I took so darn many steps I'm not even quite sure of what all i did. Olympus, shot it in raw, that much i know!

I like the picture... Nice colors, maybe could use a little more detail in the lower foreground...maybe not... MY biggest hangup is what does the scene have to do with water, or for that matter any of the quote?

water - mountains, same thing. lol
It's just a saying, I took it as seeking out a journey that you havent been on before, seeking out new adventures. Imagination...............................

If you had focused on the mountains I could see how the image would fit your goals, but with the sky in the photo, I think that the colors and light are more of a focus, and stunning or beauty are more likely to come to mind than adventurous or journey...

windrider86,

Pier 1 used to get lots of my time, going through their bins of prints, some with philosophical notes on them. It's not easy connecting one thing to the other, photo with quote, and when you do, whispering it will be more effective. Like texting and email courtesy, the shouts under the photo do more harm than good.

In the photo, I'm consistently drawn to the left side edge, center. The bit of cloud stands out. Otherwise a dramatic shot.

The left side does bother me as it is too large and too dark.
Dont you ever have adventures in your mind? Hence imagination?

Perhaps this would make more sense
