Wow!
This image is fantastic. The colors are amazing and I think the long shutter speed blurring the water is perfectly executed. I now feel very humbled as a photographer.

Agreed
I agree with Tor. These images make me wanna throw my camera away. Colours, composition, light, and technique are all amazing. I can't wait till your photos get enough ratings so you can kick some butt on "The List". Watch out photo.net, Leping Zha is on his way up!

master ..
You are a master of your craft! Agree with Ken's comments above .. you are right up there with the best of them here on photo.net. Hoping that you will share over time some of your ideas and approaches so that we might get an insight into how to achieve such great results.

10/9 As good as it gets!
As far as beautiful scenes go, and there are an infinite number, this is one of the best in my opinion. Give us amatuers some help!

It's really quite beautiful, but I feel like I'm eating a dessert that's perfect in every way but is just a little too sweet.

This image is totally unbelievably wonderful.... I'm happy to have found your folder and hope to see much more incredibly inspirational work. This is why I love photo net... It helps me to see that if we keep working and learning and seeing the possiblilities,,,, maybe, just maybe we too can get at least one that coms a little closer to this kind of perfection.

A really amazing shot. Congrats.

Superbly balanced composition and you've captured the motion of the sea beautifully. The color suffers because it's over the top, as an earlier critique said, "a bit too sweet".

This is as good as it gets andI think the best in your magnificent portfolio.You are among the best in the business IMO.

Amazing
This is a stunning image. Great color composition and brillient effect with the water blur. Thanks for sharing the technical details. That's a little I learned today.

Maybe a little bit too red for my taste, but still beautiful.
John Brady , February 22, 2003; 07:55 P.M.
Unbelievable image. Off the normal rating scale.

SUPERB
I love this photo. It is what I aspire to. I want to go to Santa Cruz.
Tom Baker , March 20, 2003; 11:19 P.M.
Manipulated?
This is definately an amazing shot. But I'm wondering if you put two images together. Is the water flowing back into the ocean from breaking on the rock? Please tell me if this is straight or manipulated somehow. Either way, it's gorgeous.

And who said normal cameras are dead? This proves If you get all the lighting correct this is what you can get.

Geeezzz, I LOVE these colors. Such a beautiful image!
Fadil Aziz , February 14, 2004; 10:48 A.M.
I especially love the color, the contrasting white to the blue and red. The upper cropping I think is too tight.
Mario Novak

Beautifull shot, but I agree, cropping at the top is bit too tight. Also, it is very tough to tell if more sky would help or distract the shot

Hello Leping,
Perfect picture 7/7.
Great portofolio. I love the color rendering of your images.
Please have a look on my shots, I would like to get your opinion.
Cheers

Amazing!
"A picture is worth a thousand words" That phrase falls short. Astounding job! Ive seen all kinds of photography (even though i am only 18) and this is one of the absolute best photos I have ever seen..

Magnificent
My new favorite seascape!

10 seconds of beautiness
Just love everything here, the composition with the light and exposure time is really brilliant, the long expsure effect in water couldnt be better

excellent evening warm tones, good using long time exposure to blur water
