I don't get it? There is nothing special about that picture??? It looks like a puddle next to the sidewalk and grass.

Forget the rule of thirds ... I'm going to shot all my horizons dead center!

My back yard is looking better than that. I can understand artistic talent, but there are limits! Then again, I am just a dumb old country boy.

They say "beauty is in the eye of the beholder." I hope the next person who be holden a photo of mine has has an eye and a wallet like the guy that bought that photo.

Absolutely stunning. Composition,colour, and balance. Without seeing a larger view, the textures work so unbelievably well with the simple and subtle yet dramatic lines. Even the blue grey waves of the clouds contrast perfectly with the hard textured wind blown ripples of the water. A brilliant if lucky capture. A moment in time, caught by an artist intelligent enough to recognize the opportunity of a once in a lifetime gift. See how perfectly the lines are parallel. Have you ever seen that in your own lifetime? An almost but not, split image,upper half from lower perfectly balanced so as not to be static, with the green, grey and blue grey. I thank you Roan, for giving me an opportunity to enjoy one of the finest examples of our passion I have ever seen.
Yours truly, Ridesthewind.

Interesting, I have deleted photos better than that.
ROTFLMAO - EXACTLY my initial thought... 35 years ago, before I *thought* I had a clue what the difference between a snapshot & photograph was.
I looked at the photo a couple different times... and even showed it to my son... I don't get it how it had a $100 value, much less millions!

If I had paid 4.3 M for this picture, I would not want my name published either!

WOW...I didn't look to see who bought it but I have a feeling they have something to do with our government or a solar panel company. :lol:

Was there a treasure map on the other side of that photo?

Apparently the buyer is too good to visit web sites. I see a tremendous amount of photos on UHH alone that far surpass this one. It wouldn't even make a good jig-saw puzzle.
Perhaps I'm missing something here but not at $4+ million dollars.

YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING! I've got better shots than than and I'm not even a good photographer.
