Very nice Bill. Although I don't think it has nearly as much impact - not as much "wow" - as some of your other beach shots, and just comes across as a very nicely captured scene. I do like the breaking wave and splash but maybe the in-between shutter speed isn't working for me.

I was browsing a postcard rack recently and I've got to say that several of these, including this one, are much too good to be on postcards. :biggrin:

Nobody does beaches like you, Bill! This is a gorgeous beachscape postcard. The exposure is perfect and the colors and details are amazing. Thank you for including the large version. It has so much 'presence' that I could feel the sand between my toes! :toast:
