Both are gorgeous shots. I would love to have a place like that to practice on.

Great set of Photos Grant. Love how the long exposure effected it. Very nicely done.

Your story is very familiar to me.

Nice shots, all that is missing is a nice red sunrise

I like how the water leads the eye to the distant point and how you've retained the detail in the rocks in #1
