Shutter Nick
An art maybe?

Another shot of the sun setting at Halong Bay. Heavily post processed to generate a different kind of image. Does it look like an art piece to you? :P Taken with Canon Powershot G9.

Of course it's art--that's what photographs are. (Pictures may not be, but photographs are.) Excellent detail on both the water and the rocks and sky.

I confirm Nick ! It's art ! Very well done ! That's a superb image... I live the golden tonality of it which suggests stilness and calm... a beautiful invitation to travel, to follow these boats... I love those blue misty mountains in the background too... stunning photography.

Your question brings up a great point - What exactly is art? To me it is anything that can take the soul beyond the ordinary, the everyday. In which case this is definitely art. It's dreamy and beautiful and makes me think of far away lands and... Well done.

I see you have a lively 'art' debate here! Suffice to say this would not look amiss on the cover of a sci-fi novel.

i like the golden effect, but don't really dig the bluish parts at the back mountains. the effects give a very warm feeling to the viewer, nice :)
