Very interesting image! It's like a puzzle, or a caleidoscope... you see it and your mind turns on.

Very nice. I think the B&W helps a lot too

Excellent job! I agree with Kyricom, B&W works a great deal to boost the enigmatic atmosphere.

Wow is all I can say!

Beautiful!

Congrats - great shot

Congrats! So beautiful.

The transition from brown sand to blue sky with the almost straight white surf acting as boundary markers really make this wonderful shot taken just at the right moment when the tide receded.

Very pretty. I'd like my footprints in that sand

like the tones, but not crazy about the distortion

Agree w/ friiskiwi here...lovely tones and great clarity, but, perhaps I might have chosen to remove some of the distortion by straightening the towers a bit...al-in-all a good entry though author

I love the way this picture captures, darkness as well as light and the detailed water droplets

@Martinlightinchrist: Thanks for you kind compliment and encouragement Really appreciate it

Really like the lighting on this one. GL

Thanks Kyricom

Love the light, actually I love every thing about it.

Thanks for the compliment Friiskiwi

love the way the droplets outline the flower in the bottom dark part - so .. mysteriously romantic!!
