Such a beautiful composition. The jetty leading the viewer into the scene. The mirror like water reflecting the sunset colours. The long exposure on the clouds convey a passing of time. So tranquil, I could sit there for hours. congratulations on 1st place.

Such beautiful light spilling in across the scene. I like how the groynes catch the coloured light and lead you into the scene. The soft pastel like colours are warm and inviting. I like the different coloured small pebbles showing through the silky water.

I love the warmth of the light radiating from the right of the image flooding the scene. The black sand being a great contrast to the orange glow. The ice capturing and reflecting the light is mesmerising, it really draws you in and makes you want to look at it in as much detail as possible. I like the way the slow shutter has softened the waves which helps elevate the ice as a focal point. Congratulations.

Such a dramatic and moody scene. I like how much depth the photo conveys. The silky water in the foreground catches your eye and then your lead all the way back into the distance. So much happening yet the image doesn't seem too busy. Congratulation on 2nd place.

Such a beautiful image, the layers of pastel colours really bring this scene to life and add incredible depth. The silky texture of the water contrasts perfectly with the rugged rocks, creating a serene, ethereal atmosphere that is truly captivating. Congratulations.

I would like to see your colour photos of seascapes that have been captured using a long exposure. Slowing the shutter speed gives the motion of the sea a silky or milky look, which can be great fun to photograph. Please only enter colour photos. I look forward to seeing all your long exposure seascapes.
