Makes me think of long ago for some reason. This might fun in sepia. :~)

Comment by Melethia:
The one with the seagull is lovely, but this one has more "something" to it. WIth just the two, not three - the man and the thingie in the sea - it takes on a whole different feel. Definitely more solitary. Not completely sold on the overlay - perhaps just a tad subtler where it strikes down on the right side.

Oh but it's not more or less the same at all! The mood is completely different.

The other one's sensual. And someone's with the guy in the other one, waiting smiling on the sand for him to turn and wade back ashore.

This one is despairing; bereft. Nobody is waiting. And he might not be wading back ashore, either.

They're both good, but if I could see only one I'd rather it be this one.

I'm not sure I like the extreme softness. I think this shot would be fabulous without the softening effect. Great perspective.
