You've got this great leading line with the sand pointing to....nothing. Good clouds though.

I like how the clouds slightly mimic the curve of the land here as well as the waves and ripples of the land and water.

Looks like it was formed by one of those wind machines that arrange sand in elegant spits and hills. The colours are really beautiful.

This is great. I love the curve or the water and the curve of the sand. Feels intimate, somehow.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 03:27:55 PM
I really like the way all the lines come together- the sand bar and the clouds all complement each other nicely. Might try lightening it up a bit more.

At first glance, this image seemed very nice but nothing too special.. then I noticed the repetition of the ripples in the water, sand, and clouds, and all of a sudden began to see this world shaped by the wind and came to a deeper appreciation of your image. I hope others feel the same!

Beautiful, beautiful - not much more to say other than I'm sitting in -30C weather wishing I was sitting there with my pant legs rolled up and my bare feet in the water....sigh
