WIND IN ACTION

This is a shot made in Pensacola.  I used HDR, so you could really see both the sand "waves" forming around the shell...AND the actual grains of sand whizzing past the shell,   I hope you like it.

Very cool!
Love the colour, sand pattern, detail, and broken shell.
Nice work!

Nice patterns in the sand Lucy. It looks like the scales of a fish, punctuated with the nice broken clam shell.

Yes, Lucy, you show off the drifting of the sand very well as well as how far downwind the influence of the shell extends.

Fun, Lucy.  I like the readily apparent wake on hte downwind side of the shell.

Very nice sand patterns and shadows in this image.  Good textures throughout.
