This was taken last winter at dawn at hagen's cove, a remote beach on Florida's northern Gulf coast. It was low tide and very cold (by our standards), but the light was clean and clear. Comments please

Nikon D200, 12-24 f/4 @ 12mm
ISO 200, 2 image blend, f/16 @ 1/60 and 1/20
tripod, mirror-lock up....gloves!

thanks for looking

Nice light Reed.
I like the sweeping lines of the sand and water.

The diagonal lines of the sandbars have given this scene a wonderful depth, Reed. That along with the contrasting warm and cool colors make for a finely crafted image.The FG sandbar reminds me of a rather large lobster claw. :smile:

Reed,

I really like the graphic shapes and lines - and the timing of the light is just right to accentuate all that. Great job including the entire sandbar as it makes the composition work very well. Almost looks like a giant "NIKE" symbol laid down on the sand... :-) Very nice. :cool:

Very nice colors and lighting, and the framing of the horseshoe makes this simple scene captivating, and the gloves definitely helped!!
