About
The stillness of this pool was disrupted just a minute after this shot was taken. The tide rose high enough for the waves to spill over the sandy embankment making this scene all but a moment in history.

Great reflective image. I like the glassy calm of the tidal pool versus the contrasting action of the waves. I think also that the color at the edge of the pool helps to separate the reflection from the reflected. The high position of the horizon in the frame works especially well here, I think, because it compresses the busy part of the image relative to the calm part of the image in such a way that accents the calm. I also like the way the aircraft vapor trail is seen in the pool. Great composition overall! 7/7!
