dj.tigersprout from San Bruno, CA, United States
that water looks delicious! in fact with this angle, i feel like a sand piper perusing the shore for some tasty aquatic bits! and i am sure there some tasty bits to be found here! ;) splendid photo -- perfect lighting -- and the water looks refreshing indeed!
23 Sep 2008 6:30am

Linerberry from Sumner, Christchurch, New Zealand
Oh how wonderful!!!! Look at the twinkling stars on the rocks:-)) The water looks divine!!! Great horizontal horrizon by the way lol. Good one you for 'daring':-)))
23 Sep 2008 8:22am
@Linerberry: Ah Berry, you're so sweet, thanks a lot ;)
@kathy: Thanks a lot Kathy :)
Michael Skorulski from Cigel, Slovakia
With all those rocks, it looks so much like Georgian Bay where my parents had a cottage. Beautiful, Lorraine. Is the dare to leap from rock to rock after you're dizzy from being spun around so much the horizon has a distinct slant?
23 Sep 2008 10:01am
@Michael Skorulski: lol I'm dizzy just reading your comment, thanks so much Michael ;)
António Pires from Lisbon, Portugal
It's a clever way to empty the lake... lol. I like how those rocks are so vivid, so closed to us, and the water.
23 Sep 2008 10:15am
@António Pires: LOL that cracked me up Antonio, well put lol thanks a lot!
Betty from New Jersey, United States
The water is so clear and beautiful. Looks like a beautiful September day! Nice one, Lorraine!
23 Sep 2008 10:23am
@Betty: Thanks a lot Betty, it was awesome ;)
MaryB from Staffordshire, United Kingdom
Thank goodness you came back Lorraine! (taking me a while to catch up, had a little break, then woke up on Sunday Morning with an awful dose of flu, I'm feeling a bit rough atm, to say the least! )
I love this shot, the water looks crystal clear, and I so love the way the sunlight is sparkling, refeshing indeed :)
23 Sep 2008 11:08am
@MaryB: Aww thanks a lot MaryB, sorry you're not feeling well, hope the flu goes away quickly, get lotsa rest, don't worry about visiting, but if you can, YAY!
@antsje: Thanks a lot Nicolay, I appreciate your visit :)

cheers
Roman
23 Sep 2008 11:20am
@Roman: Thanks a lot Roman :)
Rui from Leiria, Portugal
Fantastic Lorraine. This low angle makes this lake (?!?) huge. Fantastic colors and textures of water and rocks. So sharp and perfect. WOW You rock!
23 Sep 2008 11:26am
@Rui: What a lovely compliment, thanks a lot Rui :)
Viewfinder from Bradenton, United States
You gotta love the perspective this angle gives. It makes you feel like you're really standing there and somebody has dared you to take a few steps out into the water (on those big rocks) and you're on your way...
23 Sep 2008 11:28am
@Viewfinder: Thanks a lot Vf ;) I was careful, only slipped once or twice lol
Mandy Provan from Johannesburg, South Africa
What gorgeous tiny sparkles off the water in the foreground!!! And I love your skew horizon!! :) hahaha
23 Sep 2008 11:46am
@Mandy Provan: I appreciate that Mandy, thanks so much :)
Observing from West Cheshire, United Kingdom
I am guessing this is intentional as a fun abstract shot..? Did you get wet ?
23 Sep 2008 11:57am
@Observing: It's intentional as in 'it's too damn good to straighten out' lol and YES, I did thanks Mike ;)
Barbara from Florida, United States
Here is is, the other million $ shot. I love it. The water is beautiful blue and calm. I love the rocks, what a beautiful scene Lorraine. Angling the shot adds a nice twist.
Really woman, you impress me with this one.
23 Sep 2008 12:06pm
@Barbara: You're too good tome Woman lol thanks a lot Barb ;)
marianne from Toulouse, from France, France

23 Sep 2008 12:31pm

Stephen Phillips from San Francisco, United States
Dare? I'm guessing this water is cold? I'll jump in if you will...
23 Sep 2008 3:56pm
@Stephen Phillips: NO fear, I slipped in...was worth it lol thanks Stephen :)

jamesy from christchurch, New Zealand
Beautfiul shot Lorraine so clear and fresh looking I am guessing the dare was to put it on on the angle. Well I love it!!
23 Sep 2008 8:44pm
@jamesy: You are wicked smart girl ;) thanks a lot!
Evelyne Dubos from Le Mans, France
Bien vu l'opposition entre le cadrage penché et raz du sol plutôt dynamique et le calme qui se dégage de la scène, les 2 se marient bien.
23 Sep 2008 9:18pm
@Evelyne Dubos: quel beau commentaire, merci beaucoup Evelyne ;)
@JoeB: I can do that, but please hold the camera, the other camera ;)

tyan from Singapore, Singapore
Not here babe,please,so many rocks!!No,dont jump!Heh.I'll still enjoy your lovely photos tomorrow ya?That aside,this is a lovely shot,very interesting angle like a cyclinder of water tilted to pour out the ocean,and the water looks so 'diamondy' and clear!:)
24 Sep 2008 12:10am
@tyan: No fear hun, you can't drown in half an inch of water, well unless you slip and fall on your face, which has been know to happen to me, I'll be careful 'specially since I sent my Guardian Angel away for a while lol thanks so much and stay healthy ;)
Michael Rawluk from Williams Lake, BC, Canada
It looks like someone slipped and was laying on the rocks thinking "What the heck. Might as well shoot a photo."
24 Sep 2008 12:12am
@Michael Rawluk: Usually yes, but in this case, I went looking for it, rare, but it happens ;) Thanks always Michael!
MontereyJohn from Salinas, California, United States
Reminds me of Lake Tahoe and the evil thing my father did to me when I was but a wee lad :) Brrrrrrrr!
24 Sep 2008 2:09am
@MontereyJohn: Ahh, awful of him! so spent time on the psych couch instead of out on the beach?
@GJC: You're so nice to me GJC, thanks a lot :)
Ian Bramham from Manchester, United Kingdom
:-) Hi Lorraine!
I presume the title refers to the horizon angle! ...it's the horizons that are just slightly off kilter that dive me nuts Lorraine :-)
24 Sep 2008 10:22am
@Ian Bramham: I know exactly what you mean...lol thanks for dropping in Ian :)
