Sand Beach

Beautiful tranquil image, Ed. Great peaceful and gentle mood. 

Everywhere seems to be getting more and more crowded. And when you find somewhere "away from it", it seems that gets discovered, spread by social media? and then is no longer that quiet spot of solitude. 

This is beautiful, Ed.  I especially like the reflected light on the beach and in the water and I find myself wishing for more of that.  The lines in the foreground seem to almost connect with the lines in the waves as they come on shore.  The quality of light in this image conveys the peaceful feeling that you mention.  Beautifully done!

I love the lines in the sand Ed.  Looks like a desolate beach but I know it is not.  I avoid Acadia because of the crowds especially this time of year. 

Beautiful Ed, and indeed very tranquil.  This is a wonderful seascape. I especially love the wave line and also the soft texture and color of the intermediate receding wave area.  Of course the patterns and reflected light on the wet sand are wonderful too - there is so much to love about this image.  Oh, let us not forget the gorgeous sky!

No nits really.  I realize the time of day and direction of light, but I'm wondering if it's worth pulling a tad more detail out of the land form?  Minor though since it's not a major element to the scene.

I'm also thinking as an alternate a slight crop off the bottom.  as much as I like the patterns in the sand, I also love that wave line and I think since it extends edge to edge, that a more narrow, pano format might help emphasize that.   But this works quite beautifully as captured and presented.

Ed, this is a great take from Sand Beach. That is a very busy spot, even before sunrise.

The texture in the sand is wonderful, and I like how the shapes of the landform and the dry area of sand mirror each other. Initially, the almost-centered group of 3 rocks bugged me a little, but as I look longer, that has lessened. Perhaps because they are offset by the other group of rocks to the right and the small island on the horizon.

This is sweet, Ed. Gives me a sense of being there. I can almost hear the waves gently lapping the shore and then receding. The patterns in the sand are a real standout for me.
