Ok I mean trollin fishin. Lol. Sorry

Whatever you called it.....great shot.

BTW, using a "fisheye" lens here is so appropriate.

Great image for choppers to add something on a line. Agree with Wayne. Every caption should take this same shot.Well done.

I'm not a photoshop person either, but I could see someone adding a fighting sailfish or something. However this image is terrific "as is" especially framed by the horizon.

Fantastic! Great SHOT!

Congrats

Very amazing beautiful.

Why isn't the water reflecting the dark reddish clouds ?? Just asking.

Not nessasary, just was curious why the water was not reflecting the redish hue of the over head sky .More of a wonder to me than a question for you. gl author.

nice hdr your post work is nicely done

I accidently deleted the comment questioning the painting look to this. A lot of it had to do with the colors of the scene. Really but the painterly option in photomatix with a raise in blacks is what I did for this.

Truely wonderful. Great HDR subject and well executed.

Very fine image. Well done.

MnMCarta - Congratulations on this fine image that won first place.
