The way 6 in mono ? Works beautifully too and i'm always smiling when seeing we're reading very close (and often the same) fascinating masters ;) Here water in the sand seem to be the little sister of the clouds above, good reminder since, they are. Have a superb week & work, pal*

A magnificent sense of flow and space that becomes peace upon eye contact. Those clouds are wonderful, too. I remain infatuated with the planet, and your beautiful photo reminds me why.

DESPITE STRAIGHT LINES from United Kingdom

Standing before such a serene and beautiful scene, a man with eyes that are not blinkered and a heart that is not shackled and chained by the rules and conformity of life can truly appreciate with time on his side the wonder and spectacle of Mother natures gifts. The complexity of the rolling tides and gravitational forces, the forming clouds and sands which are constantly shifting, and the simplicity with which such things touch our hearts and souls if we just take the time to look.

A wonderful frame and so perfect in mono, has me wishing I could step within and feel the sea breeze on my face, the salt in my nose, a smile upon my lips. Utterly superb, Pavan.
