I really like your work with rocks and the sea. You had some up a little while ago that were wonderful too.

It just looks so cold and sparse, but also really beautiful.

Hi Pekka

A great shot. I wonder if it would be improved by taking the curve out of the horizon?

Have just tried out photomatix, it does a great job.

You turn out beautiful work.

Thank you Kiffin

Thank you Kiffin. I was thinking about straightening the horizon too, but then thought that the curve is so small that it looks quite natural.

Thank you Gillian

I guess there is something in that cold and sparse that interests me a lot. I like very much the Japanese aesthetic concept of wabi which is often translated as "cold and withered" and used a lot in poetry to convey a certain feeling.
