...but one more can't hurt.  Photons are cheap in Rockport, TX.

The vertical posts add a detail that keeps it interesting.

Simple, clean and powerful! As Bob says, cliché or not, keep them coming.

Appreciate the kind words from everyone - glad y'all still found some enjoyment in this one. 

For me, I like the little things about it and had to actually spend some time on the gradiations and dodge/burn to bring the contrast out in the pier boards, make the tonality fade in the sky, and a little clean up on the horizon.  Simple image, not particularly unique, but some work went into making it look like it does, so I really appreciate that you all took the time to tell me you like it :)

I was half expecting to see Yosemite Tunnel View.

Fine image.

Thanks Rajan!

You know what's crazy?  I like to think I've done a fair bit more traveling than the average American.  I've lived on all three US coasts (east/west/gulf), I've been to the Balkans, Morocco, and really all around Europe and the Americas, but I've never been to Yosemite.   :o
