Beautiful scenery Brent. What lens do you use for landscapes? Is the first shot spliced? (The sky doesn't look uniform) I do like it though.
For this series I used my 18-200mm Canon lens. The first shot was put together in HDR and because of that the sky is a little weird looking. You can see different colors going on between the palm trees. Also to pick that photo apart you can see the ghost image of people walking on the beach and on the sidewalk in different positions. I still like the photo despite all the flaws! Good catch on spotting the ununiform sky. Most people would just glance over it and not catch that.
