Strong work Joe, interesting how the layers of color, texture, and movement result in a "simple" image. It also demonstrates an excellent use of a bright blue sky. Just the right amount in the composition to define the horizon and put a sense of peace over the scene. I can see this in BW, but it would create a different mood, particularly with that sky.

Very nice... love the segmentation... the use of a single, centered item in the lower part of the fram... the fact that its minimalism, yet you can see the grains of sand. Would be a wonderful addition to an office or hallway wall.

This is master photography. Perfect composition. Color, texture, form, intrigue -- it's all there.

Excellent... Everything is great here.. 8 because I almost never give a 10 and this just doesn't quite hit me hard enough for a 9... Still, that's a superb shot!

nice simplicity and I like the vignetting...would make a great painting actually...
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/24/2010 08:50:34 AM
I think that object at the bottom of the frame actually distracts from the simplicity that you have gone on here...either that should've been composed better, or removed totally.

Stunning image.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/23/2010 08:24:46 PM
Interesting - this held my attention longer that I would expect for a simple photo. The foreground object (a broken sand dollar, I think) is a little small for my taste, and the vignetting at first looked like a flash that lit the center of the frame.

I'm not even sure what that blob is at the bottom of the picture...personally I like the surf alone much better (but that's only me...)

Simple yet good. I like the different layers.
