They jumped because your camera had a longer shutter speed, and the camera was moved a bit....

I actually redid this image because I wasn't 100% pleased with the original, which I posted here:
I actually like this new rendition a lot more.

Both shot's are great, I like the foreground and water in your new one, but I love the dramatic sky in the old one... at the end of the day it's all subjective though.
Here's another shot I took on my business trip to Hawaii. The last 3 (rainy) days ended up being a vacation on the company thanks to the American Airlines fiasco.
On my first day out, I decided to drive to the north shore of Oahu. I'd never been, so I had no idea what to expect. What I found was several small beaches (and a few large ones). The small beaches each had their own very small road-side parking. I stopped at the first of these and it felt like I had stepped into my own private paradise. Nobody was there but me, a seal, and the nature preserve lady.
The first picture is part of the view. Looked like a typical Hawaii postcard. On the right-hand side you can see part of the seal. I didn't see the seal until after I took the picture.
Apparently I got way too close when I took the 2nd picture (since I only had my trusty PowerShot SD1000 I had to get close!), as the nature preserve lady gave me a firm yet friendly talking to about staying 150 feet away. I happily obliged and helped her lay out a rope to keep others far enough away.
She told me that this particular seal (I thought it was dead, but he was just basking in the sun) spends a lot of time on this particular beach. However, the previous week 2 sea turtles had pushed him out of his spot. So she was very happy to see him back.
Anyway, let me know what you think.

Great location but, IMO, the pic needs light. With a sky like that (half cloud, half blue sky... perfect
), the light would have been changing pretty rapidly. Within a few minutes I bet the lake would have been lit up... so that it 'came forward' rather than receded... and separated the planes of hills so they look 3d rather than 2D.Yesterday on the fells...
I'm not really a big fan of flower pix (too much colour, generally, and often rather 'jarring'), but this one is so beautifully lit, and the colours so subdued. it would look good in a frame on the wall, I reckon...
That's what I was thinking! Steve in the Afghan mountains. On the move from cave to cave...It totally does!
Like it, but is it me or does she look like she's got a really bad 5 O'Clock shadow on her chin?
Make that 2 opinions. I like the original better too. I didn't really notice the root ball until you mentioned it.. It seems more natural in the original
