Another from a very enjoyable weekend. I am aware that this image would have benefited from a lower viewpoint, but access was limited for the protection of the seals, understandably, and this was the lowest I was able to get, apart from when I fell over lol.
Ahhhhhhhhh. It even looks as if it has a tear in its eye. A lovely image and good title. You can't always get the low POV you want. I'm afraid my low POVs are over. After sitting at ground level last Sat I have been in agony all week with my back. From now on a low stool is going to be as low as I get

Hi Fran,
A low POV can be nice but so can a higher POV as in this case work out really well as you have made good use of the structures of the sand wich made for an excellent composition. The soft light and lovelyness of the shot all turn this into an excellent shot.

Great title, Fran. I do wonder if a slightly more panoramic crop would lift it a little. Not too much though, that churned up sand is great as well.
