The large image makes a big difference and really does show the details. I like the warm colors of sunset on the wet sand. All the lines and patterns bring my eyes to the reeds in the left middle ground for a good focal point. This is a very nice capture.

Lovely image Bill, especially the big one. The wispy clouds look great and I like the little spotlights on the grass. Looks like you were there just at the right time. Nice work.

Bill,

Another beautiful, classic Chambers FL beachscape... :-) I wouldn't bet too much money, maybe a beer or something.. that this is the same exact time as your last image, only you just swung around and shot 180 deg in the other direction? Sure looks like it could have been that way. Well, doesn't matter, this is beautiful and the light is fantastic, as usual.

Great light, Bill. Very natural looking, I bet blown up on a wall one would feel like they could walk right into the scene

Bill,
Very nice capture. I especially like the golden brown grass in the foreground pointing to that magnificent sky. Beautiful light! Can you clone out the two people walking on the beach? :eek:

The large version is lovely Bill with very good luminosity especially where the blue of reflected sky is picked up on the shaded side of the dunes. Lovely light very pleasing image.

This is exquisite, high quality colors, tones, and composition. Kind of echo in the sky, this is a very nice extra, the icing on the cake.
