Beautiful somber image. Sorry to hear of your recent losses. It really has been a terrible year for so many people. Here's to hoping 2021 is a better year for us all. Best wishes to you and your family.
I first want to apologize for not attending to all these comments earlier. I had even another family tragedy (cousin took his life). Things have been incredibly challenging. I am resolved to have a good attitude and keep moving forward, especially to help and encourage other people. I will get to all the messages eventually. And on my other photos I have posted recently.
I took a couple days off and had 200 emails to attend to, that I am still working on as my gallery post-processing demands have been high.
Again, thank you everyone sincerely for your encouragement and beautiful responses. All the best you and your family during these times.

Sincere sympathy for your losses and the horrible year you have been experiencing.
This picture, though, wow, it is stunning, sublime, surreal, all of the good - nothing horrible in your skills as an artist. Thank you for sharing it.
A huge thank you Miko. I appreciate the encouragement. All the best to you and your family during these times.

I'm sorry for your loss, 2020 can't end soon enough for most of us. Mesmerizing photo, I like everything about it especially the lighting and movement.
I completely understand the sentiment.:-) Thank you so much for the compliment and encouragement. Sincerely all the best to you and your family.

My condolences. This past year has been bad enough. I can't imagine how much worse for those who have lost loved ones.
Your images inspire me. I am retired near Santa Barbara and I'm going to start spending a lot of evenings shooting waves at the beach. I desperately need a project and I can't think of anything more calming and peaceful.
Thanks for sharing!

Many pretenders to your throne while you were gone...
! I'm not even sure how to respond to those comments. It really made me laugh though. Thank you for the laugh. I've got no throne. My real mission in life is to encourage, help and serve others. But it feels great to be back in to see all the great work here! The work just keeps getting better at least it seems to me. I hope you and your family and loved ones are safe and well during these very challenging times for so many people. And thank you very much for your encouragement! It is priceless.

Mark-what a terrible year. I always appreciate your positive attitude and missed you presence on the forum. Hopefully the vaccine will turn the economy around.
I hope your wife gets better quickly.
Life is precious because it is limited. Given that your mom and sister are terribly missed by you - they likely lived it well. Keep on with the faith and positive attitude.
Great pictures - Scott
Huge thank you Scott! I’m humbled! 🙏 Life is good and I will keep faith and gratitude. Blessings on you and your family! Seriously!
