Hello Terry,

Even the driftwood appears to be lazing ... laid back!
It was a good idea to use the wood for f/g interest but, maybe it's just a little too imposing, although it is just my opinion.
I like the mixing of textures with the wood, the agitated sand and the sea. The colours and relaxing atmosphere are well defined.
A crop from the top would put the lower branch just disappearing from the t/r/h corner. I feel it makes a good composition. What do you think?

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Bonjour Terry.
Une belle recherche d’angle de point de vue pour mettre en valeur cette belle image.
Les couleurs et saturation sont bien adaptés à cette photo.
Bonne journée.

As we are deeply entrenched in autumn here, this looks very appealing to me ... I'd love to be there and feel that warm sand on my feet :)
Great perspective from your towel, with the dead tree in the fore, and the surfers in the back. I can almost smell the sea air.
Great on Terry

Hi Terry,
A lovely beach scene.
The colours are marvelous.
I like your POV. The uprooted
tree gives the capture character.
Regards.

Well spotted, it's great when a shot like this comes together.

The branches create nice angles to lead the eye to the island in the background.

Lazy sky is nice as well.
