I may have been born closer to the sea, but I have lived far inland for most of my life. I am fascinated by the different aspects of a shore caused by the coming and going of the tides.

This sandbar on Boscombe Beach (just east of Bournemouth Beach) is completely under water at high tide, but only the thinnest of streams separates it from the main beach at low tide.

The Royal National Lifeboat Institution
owns this surfboard which apparently functions as a rescue craft – but if anyone cares to offer more accurate information I will be happy to correct the notes :)

Tech: Captured in raw; corrected white balance and colour saturation in raw; converted to jpg, resized without cropping, sharpened, framed (with shadow effect roughly corresponding to natural shadows in the picture) and signed

Thanks for looking, for your critiques, workshops and suggestions for improvement, and have a safe and happy week.

Love this yellow here Silke! Nice reflection in the water, which is pleasing to the eye! If a pic doesn't have eye candy, I don't stop! I always stop for yours! I live about 50 miles from the coast and just love to go there...maybe I'll get to this year!

I live in a coast town, but I'm not able to take such a picture!
Love reflection and strong yellow reflecting in the low water.

Ciao, Antonella

This is an eyecatcher!

Hi Silke,

Yes, you are right, it's fascinating and not only that it blows away cobwebs in your head and gives you that clear feeling.
A double yellow board and sand I can almost feel between my toes, have to love it!

Hallo Silke,
sehr schöner Bildaufbau. Einfach...Schlicht...Toll.

I like this one Silke!

The reflections are really cool, and the colors are very sharp, the yellow contrasts well against the tan sand. Very fine composition.

Im leaving for destin in two days, I cant wait!

Nice Silke, I was bought up in the West country, used to surf quite allot.
The Yellow stands out well against the sand, the detail on the board is sharp.

Thanks

Hi Silke

The yellow surfboard contrasts well, against the reflected blue skylight, in the wet fg sand. Well seen, & superb sharpness & framing. Tfs!

Perfectly placed to create a very beautiful reflection. This is very simple but lovely! A reminder of the beauty that surrounds us each day. TFS and have a great day!

It's nice, I like water shots a lot, in case you've not noticed, and the colors and reflections here are great and compelling.
I like the mix of blue with the sand and the intense yellow of the board and the great reflection of it in the ripples along with the ripples in the sand at water's edge.
I'm a little bothered by the water up top, seems there should be more, for balance, or none but still a great image.
Hope your feeling well/moving easier,
TFS,
Wilt

Hello Silke,

Excellent composition in vivid colors! TFS
Best regards,
Sorina

This yellow board on the sand really pops Silke!
Super crisp shot with the yellow placed in an appealing location.
Great reflection too. Good to see your work again!

Very beached. Yellow submarine, Where is Julie ?
Dont tell me ,she is laying behind ?
Well seen and presented Silke.
Best regards from Jan

That yellow is very eye catching Silke. LOvely light and fine foreground detail. If I was to quibble at all it would be to comment on the wedge of water at the top, it seems to detract not add to the image. TFS,
David

WOW Silke
Just look at that yellow stand out from its surroundings.
a super shot.
well thought and executed.
Great Capture.
TFS

Hi Silke,

Excellent symbol of the beach being empty or waves are not rough . . take rest for a while . .

Yellow board stands out with this color . .
Great shot my dear friend
