Lovely smooth 'scape . . Tidal rivers (like the Thames, around me) set a city into constant visual change.

Florence from Paris, France

Lovely and smoothy point of view Anina. Well done for this very soft effect. Orton effect, I suppose ?

@Florence: Yes, I tried it, but it's more difficult than what I thought :) Your's are always perfect!

Such a cool perspective for this shot, love how it transitions from the low tide and grounded boats tot he city skyline

A bridge over untroubled water :) Lovely. I particularly like the shapes the water has drawn in the sand, leading the eye into the frame nicely

Wow, what a great catch. This image is amazing for its low tide foreground and the boats on their sides, and then the wonderful city shot with the beautiful bridge in the distance. Beautiful!

I love this wide view of this scene. The boats on the right are well placed and give a sense of place.

JOEMULLIGAN from burnsville, nc, United States

Those boats washed up on the tidal flat look so small and helpless.

Wow, is that kind of low tide normal? The boats end up on the ground.

“My land is bare of chattering folk;
the clouds are low along the ridges,
and sweet's the air with curly smoke
from all my burning bridges.”
