Great use of DOF. Excellent composition and the photo has a feeling of reminiscing thanks to your excellent processing. I like this shot very much.


Now... please bear with me... I'm revisiting a little comment experiment I conducted in the 2009-03 Free Study... something like K10DGuy's comments, but with a twist... the twist being, the story will move from one photo to another within the challenge... also, I don't select just a few photos I start at the first and end on the last as determined by DPC random order assigned to me, with a single sentence for each photo... should be interesting... and you're photo is #6 in the series

Beautiful fences once decorated these beaches, but no more... these are now simply memories.

Wonderful, WONDERFUL photo. Colours are outstanding and the composition is superb. I'd have overprocessed this, without a doubt, but you've nailed it, Well done.

After the storms and fires had passed, only ghostly remnants remained where once stood the village, and they too would eventually be eroded by time.

What wonderful detail! And the use of duotone is a brilliant touch... makes this bug shot stand out from the others... even the great ones. This is my favourite macro shot in the challenge.

So simple, but so beautiful. Simplicity makes the colours stand out. Nice work!

Absolutely stunning scenery, and you've processed this perfectly. Love the mist, and the detail in the rocks in the foreground (including those in the water). Well done.

I am just blown away by the calibre of images in the challenge... so many that I'm bumping up from 8 to a 9 or 10... and this is another that deserves 10... there's nothing wrong with it and all I can put the initial 8 down to... but at least I'm back to fix my earlier harshness. Colour, composition, detail, and artistic value... all great.
