Hello Kyle
I was going to say "SNOW" but after looking at your location its must be sand! Very pretty / warm beach photograph! the light is wonderful

Tricia

Wonderful Kyle, and I started thinking if the climate really is changing that much that you can get snow!

The light here is fantastic.
Lovely composition - very relaxing.

Hello Kyle,
This is a splendid photograph with very beautiful composition and colours. Snow-white sand is very particular, as well as the colour of the grass. What is the white line on the horizon?
Greetings from Holland,
Adri

Hello Kyle,
Lovely details and amazing colours!
Attractive veil of clouds, and the golden straws in the white sand gives a great effect in low sun...
A simple but pleasant composition!

Hi Kyle,
This is excellent. A beautiful view that looks like snow. Your color tones and lighting are perfect. Very nicely done Kyle. TFS Julie

interesting light on the yellow grass
nice colours, nice place, fine quality and lovely sky
the 50/50 framing would work better if there was an attractive point in the composition
regards
jo

Amazing seascape picture Kyle,
full of all kinds of interesting elements,
It works also on an abstract level,
Nice one.

Great colors and clarity front to back, I did think it was snow until I read the notes, didn't have to mention the temp. I was going to comment about the horizon line in the middle, after further study I changed my mind - you would loose the best part of the sky, sooooooo. enjoy the sun

Hi Kyle,
It does look like snow. This image is so inviting given that outside my window, it is -5C. I could do with a nice warm beach.

Intéressant mélange de teintes.
Bonne journée.

Hi Kyle,
What I particular like in this image is the soft lighting, no harsh colours but a gentle yellow and blue. Also the composition is well balanced, with the deep blue sea as fine border between heaven and earth. Excellent posting my dear.

Hello Kyle,
For the first moment I saw the picture, my question was: snow in Florida???? :))
Excelent POV, great colors, fantastic atmoshpere. Just great, congrats!
Thanks,
Mihaela

a perfect balance between sand and sea with such beautiful colors.

Hello Kyle!

Woo Hoo!!!! I missed your recent posts . High quality shots as usual. Very heart breaking to us , as we will not head South this winter. We are skipping a year, gathering dough for a trip in Europe.

Lovely low light providing warm tones to the grass. I like a lot the long exposition here. Well done!
