Triple Assault on the Grand Strand

Geeze, I can't believe this image got so utterly hammered, holy smokes! I'm the one that gave you your lone 10, and I can't understand how this image failed to move at least a few more viewers. The sense of stark, surreal immediacy, the inarticulate *foreboding* of the image, are just remarkable. But evidently I'm way out of tune with the rest of the voters on this one, and you know, I don't care! I'm making you the second-ever winner of the Golden Bear award :-)

Hahaha! Someone else used "pigeon of the sea"! I did that in a free study a few months ago...

I'm sort of sorry you "explained" it in the title, that wasn't necessary. Still, a cool shot.

DNMC, seriously. This Strikeslip clone obviously has the mental age of a toddler. Plus the teeth look dangerous and they scare me. The gleam in the eyes is positively demented. I worry about you, slippy. If you need help, just dial 1-800-OMY GAWD...
