Yes Cornelius, when I see 9 deg. in the morning I too realize that the warmer days are over. The beach is no longer "crowded". Fine capture of the active sky and a good composition in this shot.
The beach looks abandoned now. The sky is very dramatic against the water. I agree with Carol that this would make a great desktop in colder months. Nice one.
Very dramatic sky moving in, really love the textures in the sand and water plus the super contrasting colours. I see some the people have long sleeve shirts/sweaters.
color of the beach, water to accent, and the amount of sly with all that 3D effect? most pleasing to the eye. i think one of the rules of thumb i read somewhere...was have no more the 20% of sky...i think you just proved them wrong! awesome pic!
