BEACH

Excellent - I really like this. The colours seem unusual and the entire image seems to have a somewhat dream like quality to it - the sun only just poking through is a superb subtle touch. Tristan

Excellent! I like the slightly grainy look to this...

Thanks Tristan and Ned

VERY dream like Waleed! Is the graininess intentional or part of the scanning process? No matter...I think it really contributes to the feel of this image. The light on the water is amazing and how it is captured on that pointy rock is sweet.

Wonderful Waleed!. I love the ethereal nature of this image.

Ethereal. TImeless. Pastel colors. Soft. I think it would work even without the one rock.

Nice, not your typical oversaturated beach scene. I really like this. Well done and composed.

Waleed,

I love the sublte pastel tones and the complimentary colors of yellow and blue they work together very nicely. Also the subtle hint of the sun is great as well. The rocks are a great element in anchoring the whole scene. Great.

Beautiful! I love the color, the texture and the shutter speed choice. Great job!

Waleed: Wonderful image. I especially like the water action and the subsurface rocks. Very well done. >=))>

This is really nice! I love the simplicity of the scene and the soft tones. Very well done.

Waleed,

What fantastic mood and light in this image. That central rock looks like gold! I also really like the motion of the water in the foreground. I think a slight crop from the top would bring the sun more in to play here; it's a nice element, but the sky just wasn't working for you. But the beauty of the rest of the image more than makes up for it.

Beautiful.

A beautiful impressionistic effect. I love the color and textures.

Guy

Beautiful color and mood. I has this quiet emptiness about it that I really like.

- Dan.

This is really different and, I think, a great play on the land and light. This is a non-ordinariness about this that makes it feel very fresh compared to much that we see in nature photography.

Quite surreal, nice work

This is stunning Waleed. Breathtaking almost. The overall effect is incredible, with the grain, and impressionism. From a photography standpoint, the three rocks - one main, and two fainter - areg just solid enough to hold the image together. And the glowing light is a great finish.

This is another winner, Waleed. Well done.

Cheers,

Wonderful lighting Waleed. That central rock is perfectly placed and points the way into the infinite distance.

thanks all
thank very much

The softness of the water and the golden sheen makes this a very fine image. The sharp rock tops it for me.

The grainy softness of everything but the centered rock really goes a long way to giving this a wonderful dream like quality. A fine example to remind me to pull back on the saturation and contrast reigns. Excellent work.

Thanks William & Eric

Ya gotta lov those colors. Very moody shot.

thanks alot :)

Hi Waleed

I don't normally like overly blurred water but I must admit this image has a very endearing mood. You certainly have vision as I think most photographers would not have visualised this image and walked by. Stunning!

Beautiful colors in this scene Waleed. I can sense the water's movement as it comes ashore and recedes. Well done. Congratulations on the EP pick!

thank you very much :)
