If I am right, it appears that the "track" maker was walking right to left. The shadows are going left to right. Thus, a metaphor for the difficult decisions ahead.

John had me going on the shadow part....

*stare again to the footsteps*

Back to the picture...

I like the simplicity in here, just the footsteps and the wooden fence are in the 'spot'light.

Great shot, Mary :o)

Mary - You have composed an outstanding photo. Simple in design, yet much to see and contemplate. The variety of textures in the sand from the prints, swept ridge to rippled effects, and even the small imprints left by shelled animals are wonderful. Superb work! Thad

This is such a 'solita17' image.

/\ And that ... is indeed a compliment. :o)


Lil' bit of Chromatic Aberration (blue/green tinge) on the righthand post. The Lens Correction filters in image editing programs/software work well enough to remove this.

I'm not sure if this is relevant or not, in terms of adjustments prior to post processing or editing, howver, forging ahead ... some words from Paul Gerritsen regarding CA;

"When you use f36 you cannot obtain a sharp image anymore. That is due to chromatic aberration. In optics, chromatic aberration is caused by a lens having a different refractive index for different wavelengths of light (the dispersion of the lens).
I don't want to go in details here, but simply said there is a minimum aperature above which a higher f number will not improve you sharpnes anymore. That number is about f11. Maybe you want to experiment with your lens to see were you get the best results."


'Artistic' is more than an apt descriptor for your photo here. Gushing a tad ... believe you have transcended the medium with this one.

Thanks for sharing your talents with us, Mary. This viewer appreciates your gifts of time and art. :o)

Last words ... +favs for me.

Simplicity in nature so often brings about the most awesome designs. And your photo has shown that completely. THe ripples in the sand, so soft and inviting.And the many types of shadows are just awesome. I love the fence, there is always something so alluring about old wooden fences. Mary, this is truly lovely, and you love what I love..the sea and anything that has to do with it. I hope you are feeling a bit bette. I'm sorry I hadn;t seen this photo before this. But I love it very much. Thank you, and know you are in my daily thoughts and prayers. Verena

Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.
