Thanks! Yeah the bottom half of the last one does have something special going on. I did shoot some closer up shots of that but none of them seemed to work quite right from a compositional standpoint. I may revisit those shots and I'll definitely be back to this location to try again in the future.
Rajan, I totally agree about a little more elevation but sadly this was all I could do. It's pretty flat there next to the water and this was from a little rise. I guess I could have extended the center column but the ground was a little soft and I decided to keep it more stable instead. Tradeoffs...
