The Barrier Beach

the light ..
the contrast ..
the point of view ..
the black and white ..
those tiny ppl and cars ..
the water on either side ..
the gorgeous sweep of the land ..
the waves forming lovely patterns like lace ..
those dramatic clouds like a patchy patterned ceiling ..

what's not to like . !!! ..
this is FANTASTIC .
LOVING THE DRAMA . :)

almost an optical illusion ..
when i opened this i could swear (not rudely of course) .. that the water was moving .. and even as i write this it still has that appearance .
what an amazing achievement ..
anyway .. loving the black and white treatment .. and of course that crazy moving waterfall .. :)

The Fairy Pools

the dullness definitely makes me think of fairies and assorted otherworldly creatures .. you have stepped into their playground .. i fully expect to see one out of the corner of my eye .. but they are so clever .. i never get a proper glimpse .. always just out of sight ..

btw .. if this is a combo its absolutely brilliant .. foreground and background perfectly merged .. if its one pic .. its all the same to me .. i'm loving this a lot . :)

Rich has said what i thought but may have had trouble putting into words ..
this is so awesome .. the black and white edit perfecto . !! ..
i really love everything about this ..
i feel you may have got marked down because of the blown out sky .. but that is one of the elements that really makes this pop .. loving the grain and the dust .. and the feeling of concentration on the mens faces .. :)
