An image from the winter of a beautifully sculpted beach after a rough night of high winds and churning seas. I loved the shapes of the sand - echoing the form of the rolling waves that had previously covered it at high tide. Not a spectacular landscape by any means, but simply a wee moment in time that was gone in a few hours with the rising tide, and I've not seen anything so elegant before or since.
Desaturated, contrast upped to get the graphic effect (full frame).

I really like this .
I think you hit the nail too - one tide in and gone forever .
I suppose most nature stuff is but at least you can get birds on the same perch etc.
Great shot.

Great shot. Looks to me like somebody has been over indulgent with the chocolate.
Very well captured John - patterns like this can be difficult view; the eye wanders round for want of a place to rest. While there is definitely an element of this to the shot, as Justin says, it is very intriguing and the 'roamibility' factor enhances the viewing experience.
Technically the high contrast really lends itself well to the subject. My only criticism is that it is too small to get maximum enjoyment from!! It would doubtless be very impressive printed large.
I keep spotting patterns that reassemble other objects!! More of this stuff gets my vote. Fascinating!
