Now for something completely different
Perhaps I'm losing my marbles, but this little chap on the beach quite appealed to me!

Best wishes

Very different, I like the DOF, showing all the different colored stones in the BG...

Great thinking Philip!
Love this type of shot!
I would however crop it tighter and loose the OOF stone in the FG.

Greetings,

"Look daddy, one of the stones is moving" - LOL. Great idea and nicely executed.

very nice the foreground is a bit distracting though

Great thinking, works for me.
How about setting the camera on bulb exposure next time and trying panning as it goes past?

Interesting shot, However I agree that the forground stone is distracting.

I don't mind the foreground stone - it's just part of the enviro.

I like it very much, although for some reason it looks a bit blocky and pixelated on my screen, like it hasn't quite finished resolving/loading on screen :confused:

Bit different to the norm and most certainly worth a frame or two. :cool:
