At first I thought it was a shot you had taken a few decades ago, until I noticed the waves and clouds were the same! Very well done, Clive

I feel the same about the beaches along Floridas East Coast. Should have been left natural and not loaded down with hotels, motels and houses.

It's beautiful either way, my eyes automatically go to the natural elements and skip right over the buildings!

Great views, Bill while I prefer the upper (older) view, without the buildings, it would be hard to stay there

Great foreground effects and mountain opacity transition as they fade into the distance in these excellent captures. The two pics are virtually alike, Bill, the main difference being the structures along the shore in the bottom shot.

Wow! You've really done a nice job in retouching away the buildings in this. Particularily with a wooded background - not easy to get right at all! My hat's off to you! Nice original photo. Keep 'em coming! :-)

I'm totally impressed with your postwork on this image. Getting rid of the buildings must have been the easiest part. I wish I'd been watching you to see how you reforested the clear cut areas of the Coastal Range!! Fascinating to think about, isn't it? Really fine work.

WOAH!!!!!!!!!!!! Dang, Bill - you did one fantastic job on this! Not only did you take out all the overpriced hotels and other buildings, but you reforested the mountains as well! An excellent job, my friend! I'm totally impressed! I think it looks a lot better in it's 'undeveloped' state!

I'm sorry to be clogging your inbox with comments this morning but I just have to comment on this one. My eyes were immediately drawn to the fact that there were to clear cuts when Capt. Cook was here. I wish it was that way today. Only after looking a few moments did I notice the buildings were gone as well. I just hate clear cuts, but then, I do live in a home made of wood so I shouldn't be so critical.
