First impression, the guy is in some kind of contraption with a sail to catch the wind and wheels to transport him along the beach...I see why you love this image!

I really like both of the fractalius-ized boats, but this is my fav! I love the angle & the name is great!! Beautiful color, almost painterly but a step above just that...extremely wall-worthy!

The lens baby is really effective here. There is enough clarity to give the info needed to know what the image is, and the blur is perfect for the negative space.

Looks like a cold and lonely job. I do like the high key b&w processing.

Great example of minimalism and high contrast. There is just enough for us to know exactly what's going on. I'm sure I've told you what a sucker I am for lifeguard stands. Dad was on at Huntington Beach in CA back in the day, so I get all nostalgic when I see them. This is a GREAT image.

With a very light touch, I can see a bit in the sand. Lovely shot, so lonely! Just a man and his bird. ROFL! That didn't sound right. Anyway, it truely is so very pretty!

"What is it? I can't make it out. The title... "Bridge Thing"? What? Does that help? Not really. Perhaps it's a bridge with something hanging from it? But what? And is it a bridge?"

This is what went through my head when I saw this. I love photos that make me thing... as long as they're aesthetically pleasing enough to make me want to keep investigating it... and this ticks all those boxes. Well done... again.

Mmmmmmm.... oh how I crave some shrimp right now. I love what you can do with the blur.
