I loved the composition of this shot when I saw it. Living in Rhode Island, this is a very familiar scene to me. I can actually 'feel' it from this photo; the way the sand feels at this time of day; wonderfully cool, gritty, and hard under your bare feet. My dogs will wade through these little inlets, whereas the waves intimidate them. I think the only reason I didn't vote higher was I felt the birds were a bit too speck-like. If I had been voting then the way I do now (I go back and revise when I'm done voting) I probably would have upped my score. As it is, I was one of your more generous voters. :-D

People a weird at this site.

I like this shot. It's good to look at, in particular the colours, the shiny blue contrasted to the darkish purplish/brown/gray of the sand, and the specks of white.

An unfortunate placing for a beautiful minimalistic shot. Simple, lovely light.

There's another oceanside shot with colors and lines reminiscent of this shot. I like it very much as an abstract.

A little dark.

Highly reminiscent of the work of Zeus Zen, only I'm moderately convinced he would have presented it in black and white. Very interesting work: not completely convinced about keeping the flying bird right of frame, but the water there is definitely a useful compositional element - difficult decision, I'd guess.

Very dark, but intersting idea. I wish the photo showed some more of the horizon to help orient ourselves. I like the composition for the most part, and if you didn't want to show the horizon, you did a good job with the composing to keep it out.. I wish it were brighter though.

for me, this image is to dark ... also the ilumination is very uneven (why? was this on purpose?)
05/12/2004 01:12:42 AM
nothing cathes my interest here... sort of boring

Lovely dreamy composition of a beach scene. Really, really good one!

My primary problem with this is my inability to determine what I'm looking at. Because the image is so dark, my brain is convinced that there's something I am supposed to see here. Without being able to determine what I'm supposed to be seeing, it's tough for me to make constructive comments.

Really like this..very abstract

The mysteriousness of the image - due to the underexposure - makes you study it. Unfortunately, there not much going on in the bottom half of the frame.

I like it. Abstract, interesting light, looks neat. Two thumbs up, very artistic very new.

Straaaaange lighting! But I think I like the overall effect, I'll have to come back to this one...

Why is the sand so dark? Ok that sounded stupid! This is a moonlit night shot with a few flashlight enhanced areas on a long exposure I'm guessing? Intriguing effect, good composition, I would have shone the flashlight longer in some areas.

I like dark compositions. And empty spaces. 10.

I'm not sure what this is.

Wonderful colors and interestingly abstract image. Hard to tell if this fits the topic. Is it something you've never photographed in a place you've never been? I'm gonna take your word for that.
