The long crescent beach, milky water, and sublime movement in the clouds make this the picture of tranquility ... unbelievable dynamic range in this, John. That's one very cool filter. Cheers, Rick

A very ethereal slow shutter shot - interesting tones, and the wide angle really captures the curve of the beach. -JD
