Sensual Shore

I had a little fun seeking out abstracts on the shoreline last weekend with Jesse Speer. The marine layer did not burn off, so we didn't have any sunset light...oh, well.

Heading out to Colorado and Utah in a few days. Hope it's a good season. Oh, I promise to be more careful this year and not crash :eek:

Don't crash, Jimmy--crashing aint good! :biggrin: If you can hold off until about 8-9 days from now--that's when the weather gets interesting, it sucks right now.
Nice abstract, works well in B&W. I like the sine wave! :cool:

Very lovely. I am enjoying both the main curve as well as the gritty details.

Thanks Stan... I will be there Oct 3-10. Does that work for your weather outlook?

I see a belly button. Great shot! Might dodge/burn/contrast a bit more to accentuate but nice find :) Good light and travels

Yes please don't crash. We need you around to continue inspiring us.

This is a sensual image, and the mind does race with suggestion. I must ask, did you place the belly button stone there?

Sweet Abstract shot. The tonality and texture here are awesome!

Great eye Jimmy! A very nice form indeed.

I dunno though, I think this one needs to see a dermatologist soon! :cool:

Seriously, this is beautiful work.

Love the luminous quality of the light along that curve, Jimmy and the nice array of tones you achieved. Well done. All the best on the trip to Utah and Colorado.

Great find. Not a bad thing to leave your wife or girlfriend at home when going on a photo-trip and then finding a nice looking lady on the beach... :biggrin:
