Smile Hello from Seattle !!!

Hello from Seattle !!! *explored #9*

Tech Specs
17mm f/22 8sec (using 17-40mm L), Singh Ray 3stop ND hard grad, Lee 2stop ND soft grad.

Used the Hard stop ND filter to have its edge slightly below the horizon and the soft stop filter to gradually darken the water mid way. The lower portion of the picture was totally unfiltered and was exposed to get the details from the pebbles and rocks on the right.

made it to #8 on explore for July 19th

Great shot! It's not always easy to make Seattle look this good. Is this an HDR or from one exposure?
