Well folks its raining NON stop here...grey and drab, but not cold, rather humid and sticky..I hate it when its like this... so to cheer me up.. I post a nice seaside shot... taken a few week ago, when we went away for the weekend. Here at Bowentown Beach, I took a sneaky shot of this fella relaxing at the beach with a good book!..it must have been good cos I took lots of shots and he didnt look up once.

Thanks for taking a look.. comments and critques welcome.

Cheers
Dawn.

I wanna be there ...

Very nice. :) Nicely composed, good depth of field and beautiful light ... placement of the surf-line across the top of the frame is perfect.

He does seem to have a touch of sunburn on his neck, poor sod.

To cheer you up, have a view on my 'Spring' schot.

Hi Dawn;
Very nice picture,
composition and clarity...selamlar

He looks so relaxed sitting there reading his book and listening to the waves crash against the shore. You were sneaky getting so many shots of this man - good for you! Very nice composition and sharpness. The colours are strong too. Well done.

great use of light to bring out the colors and details so vividly. excellent work. if it makes you feel better , we are having great spring weather in northern california:)

Your image makes me want to be there Dawn. I think that's a strong sign of a quality photo.

Dawn, I see you also use your photo's for cheering up - and - it works!!
The driftwood - the fellow - the book and only sea and sand - it works wonders for me and the weather is not even bad here - in fact it's great!
