This is in the sand? Made after the water raced back to the sea, right? I like the subtle colors. Not so sure about the empty area LL.

Eva, This looks wonderful. For me your comp works perfect and I love the soft colors. The shapes and textures are especially nice and just begging for a large print!! Beautiful...

Love it, Eva! The light plays so subtly with the undulations in the sand. The red color is delightful- must be from all those cans of beans the Scots left out there so the little people could enjoy making paintings this.

It is such a great beach. I went back again at low tide at sunrise and went around the corner which you can only do at low tide. It was stunning, wonderful sand patterns and a gorgeous sunrise. Eva this really nicely shows some of the soft colours and detailed drainage dendrites that are formed in that red sand beach.

Quite a wonderful abstract here, Eva. At first glance it appears to be almost like granite with a mixture of mineral for color. However, like any really good abstract it takes reading the bit of history along with the post to understand the facts on the scene.
Very well captured and processed as always.

Excellent abstract Eva. Really digging your comp and the subtle colors. Could possibly boost the mids a bit to bring out the textures for a slightly bolder look, but it's subtlety is lovely as is too

Beautiful textures and tones in this Eva. Hard to believe it's sand. Beautiful abstract and well seen.
