The design in the sand is really nice. Beautiful colors all around. The birds pull your eye into the image even further. Nice work Kah Kit.

The color combinations and patterns are beautiful, Kah. The birds add a wonderful element of surprise and interest here. For this to be absolutely perfect, I would love to see the birds sharper. Do you by any chance have a version with a shorter exposure time? Beautiful work!

Your title had me intrigued--since the thumb didn't make the birds obvious of course! This is great--very surrealistic, i like it a lot! :smile:

Nice colours and patterns in the sand set off nicely with the pinks of the sky

Lovely, simple and atmospheric landscape. The only minor nit would be that the pattern and lines evident in the foreground seems to be composed a bit randomly.

Very nice Kah Kit. Love the fg sand patterns and colours leading out to the bg hills. The line of seagulls are a nice touch, but I'm in two minds if they help or distract in the image. They do reinforce the feeling of being at the beach, but they seem a bit blurry and indistinct. A very nice image with fabulous colour.

The foreground is definitely an eye catcher Kah with nice colour throughout. I think the gulls are a nice addition although I think the shot would be just as good without them.

Beautiful. I love the sky and the foreground is really interesting. The gulls are a nice extra touch, and the colors are wonderful.

The shapes and colors in the sand make this shot amazing Kah.

Fabulous pattern and texture in sea and sand. Although it's beautiful, I might have left out the sky color altogether. The image is (IMO) stronger without it. The birds are an excellent focal to draw the eyes into the image and the high ground in the bg is the perfect terminal point. This is a wonderful image

Nice. The fg leads into the rest of the scene effectively and it's tones and textures are fascinating. The birds are interesting and without them it would still be a very nice image but a different one of course.

Wonderful image Kah Kit. I like the abstract qualities and the bands of color in the sky. The birds add an element of interest and counter balance the white wave line nicely. Beautiful!

Love that foreground! I may back off the pinks just a hair, or possibly brighten them.

Kah Kit - the patterns in the foreground are so interesting here. Add the birds and the color in the sky and you captured a really interesting and beautiful photo. Very nice work.

The large version is off the chart! Superb. The birds add so much to clarify the size and colors.

Fascinating foreground and the birds are a perfect additional element. And the sky color is incredible. :toast:
