Beautiful patterns on the sand -some intense sky you had. A slight CCW tilt adjust might be in order. Otherwise, a fine shot with some nice reflected light on the water and sand.

Harry,
Yes, the sky was intense - I had thought I might tone it down a bit to make it more believable, but that's what I saw...
On the tilt - I put a Photoshop ruler on the horizon in the initial post processing to make sure it was straight - must be an illusion with the grooves in the sand.

Great colors and I love the details and structures/textures in the sand in the foreground.

Wow, that's an intense sky. Nice contrast to the cooler, darker beach. Ripple patterns add some interesting texture

That is a blazing sky! The crossing tracks are cool, too. Nicely done.

Lots to enjoy here, Wick. I love the intense color in the sky along with the lines and textures in the sand.

Wick,
I really like the subtle criss-crossing of the tracks in the rippled sand. Such a contrast to the intense sunset, but surprisingly they both work well together. Nice job emphasizing the sand and balancing out with the strong sky.

Very nice Wick! That blazing sunset made a great background for this scene. The rippled sand and wonderful texture looks great and the tracks add a very nice touch. I like the reflected light across the sand too.
