You have captured beach life very well here. Something seen so very often but you have captured it so very well. Outstanding colors and very well composed.

  Thank you so much, Darren! So nice of you to post your comment! Yes..beach life is wonderful!! And the people who owned these towels were nice enough to move so I could take this shot.

I also wanted to acknowledge a post by Dana which isn't showing up here and under a different photo ID number (yet, it's the same image!) I don't get why this happens occasionally:

What a nice composition! I really like this one!

Thank you Dana! For some reason, the photo doesn't load and your comment is under photo ID 50002. Another comment on this SAME image has another photo ID number (50003) and this comment doesn't show up on the other one. Wanted to acknowledge your kindness...I appreciate it much!

  Bravo Dolores! You hit gold with this one. Love it. Is this one of the vacation pics at the seashore? Hope it was a wonderful, relaxing, photographic trip. We head out to "Big Sky" country in September for some R&R.

  As I was scrolling through entries, before I saw the name, I had a feeling this was yours, Dolores. It's quite striking. It reminded me of a photo that I think was yours that won in the past of a towel or sheet or some sort of laundry blowing on the line. Anyway, I love this. Fantastic work!

  Aw...you're too sweet, Evy! Thank you so much! I'm so delighted you approve!

Hello BT!! Many thanks for your super, super compliment!! Much obliged!

Hi Patricia!! You have an excellent memory! I posted a towel image last summer ...a blue/white towel on a clothes line billowing in the wind against a blue sky when I went camping last year. Thank you for your highly valued compliments and for your time! Appreciate it so much!

  Good eye, great shot, Dolores! I suspect many photographers might curse the people who left their towels in the middle of their potential landscape shot, but you simply turn them into the main feature!

  Greetings again, GAry! THank you! The people who these towels belong to were very nice and accommodating. THey didn't mind moving a bit to the left so I could take a shot of their towels!! I "saw" this pic from the shoreline and shot it before they grabbed their towels and headed for the beach. Many thanks!!
