Went to Pictured Rocks for my anniversary. Got lots of photos, but here's the ones I like most. Hope you guys enjoy!

Took a closer look at these and realized holy crap do I need to clean my sensor... Yeesh. So I did some cloning and redid some stuff while I was at it.

The third and fourth ones are my favorites - especially #4, that's a stunner, beautifully done.

I like the first one even though I don't prefer real long exposure times for water. This works anyway. I sense HDR......

@Rick50 you would actually be incorrect. These are all single images, just slightly overexposed so I could bring the shadows out without noise. The dynamic range of a 5D mark II isn't the greatest, so you gotta make do with whatcha got. For all of these, I used a 4 stop ND filter and at least 1 second exposures.

Besides, bracketing shots is too much work anyway.

One more that came out nicely.
