This is stunning David, great colors and design elements. I went to the beach a few days ago and the offshore winds were so beautiful!!

Good luck and keep up the unique and creative seascape captures!!

Thanks Donna. I nearly got frostbite shooting this one because it was so cold in the morning.

Thanks also Colette. #5575797

This is an amazingly beautiful image David! I tried really hard to get similar type images while I was in San Francisco on a visit (yes it was COLD and I finally had to throw in the towel LOL!) My attempt did not even come close to the beauty I see in your gallery. Fantastic work. #5662723
