Oh that is yummy. I have such fond memories of making sand castles with my Dad when I was little. I knew that was California, the minute I saw it. He was a native Californian (and even life guarded at Huntington Beach) and loved to body surf. We spent many hours along the Texas gulf coast in sand that looks just like this. Ours was more scattered with shells, but thanks for the memory.

i like the DOF. although i think if it was possible to have a tighter crop, then you would place even more focus on the orange flower.

Wonderful memories and beautiful colors. The blurred sky, water and people on the wharf add a touch of mystery.

Great street candid. That hand gives it a nice Charles Addams touch.

dark and creepy, as you planned. I would have liked for this to feel a bit cooler, right now the emphasis seems to be on the darkness.
