  Thank you Doc, Dave, Joy, Martha and Susie!

Susie I don't always have time so I take a whole bunch in the hopes a few turn out. Often the photo is of me starting to get into place and not quite making it in time :-) LOL those end up being some pretty ugly photos of me.

LOL no tan lines Les because this was the one and only time I had a bathing suit on this summer. I am not a sun person :-)

  I agree with Les--the lines of the scarf blowing in the wind are all important to the overall composition. They complement the horizontal lines of the sky, ocean, breaking waves, wet sand, etc. without simply repeating them. I also like the position of your hand and your slightly turned head. This figure (you) seems captured just at the moment when she caught sight of something that interests her and in my imagination that movement takes me beyond the image. Beautiful, Susan.

I have no idea why summer breeze did not get recognized. It is a wonderful composition and beautiful colors. The only thing is that it the choice of the judges and often they do not pick images that we know are wonderful. I see alot of great images that are bypassed. If an image is compositionally good and technically good then the rest is up to individual tastes???? You know it is a great image so that is what you need to hold on to.

  So beautiful. Almost surreal. I love the mix of new and old ideas.

There's something 1920's, New England Coastline about it. I can almost smell the lobster stand and hot dogs in the breeze.

Very special capture. -Laura Swan
