Arent beaches like this just fantastic??!! Here in Oregon, the waters are usually cold, but the beach walking is sooo great!! And the colours..I love how you took this straight into the sea and you kept with the "law of thirds" nicely done!! I hava digital but I also have my old staNdby Canon AE1 23mm and I love that c amera dearly. YOu can get great buys on Ebay for those...My original one finally gave out, so I got a new body for it right here in Portland from a seller in Ebay...and now I still have all my lenses and filters that fit....try it...ya might find a good deal...and I gave you high marks on this photo.

how intense those colours are! I often get the feeling that they are photoshopped, but I know better: it's because I'm used to the green and grey of the North Sea. I like the emptiness of the picture; it draws my attention to small details I wouldn't have noticed otherwise. Makes a very good desktop too!

This is a nice inviting beach image. Good colors and exposure. I would love to live near the ocean again. I miss the sights, sounds and smells of the beach. Good job.
