Ripples

I was attracted by the rippled pattern on this piece of sand which was under a few centimeters of water. Especially the blueish color appealed to me, although I don't know what caused it....

ISO 100, f/16, 2.5 s, 80 mm.

C&C welcome! Large version is included.

This is a fine pattern, Roel.  I like the color shift across the frame and those sharp little squiggles scattered nicely.

The alternating and contrasting cool blue and warm brown colors add interest to the diagonal pattern. Well seen and imaged, Roel.

Roel..this is a fantastic abstract..The diagonal patterns, and the fine blue creates a lot of interest. Should there be a tad bit more contrast and brightness..or may be its my monitor..

Lots of great details in the LP Roel, would be interesting to know what has produced the blue/turquoise color shift.

Perhaps a hydrous phosphate of copper from local run-off? All kind of stuff's polluting our beaches these dayssurprise

Like the color shift and diagonal "squiggles" in this one.devil
