This one was a lot of work. I use Lee Grad ND filters and Darryl Benson Reverse Grads and think I used both on this shot. Thanks for the kind words.

We are headed to Maui on September 1st....my goal is to get at least ONE really really good sunset pic and 1 waterfall pic on the road to Hana....keep your fingers x'd! LOL!

You are brave taking the road to Hana :D, went there once but did not come back the main road, went around and boy was that a trip. Also Sep-Oct can be humid due to no trade winds. Have fun and will watch for your pics.

Must be the long exposure as I don't consider myself 'Artistic', in the developmental way. Thanks.
