Guess I should wait for the others but I'm not very patient. This is a beautiful capture, Ken. I love the tiny sharp sun on the horizon, the spray of the water against the sky, the interest of the rocks, and of course the light and colors. #7294449

Carolyn M. Fletcher March 17, 2009

These are beautiful! #7294451

Tammy M. Anderson March 17, 2009

Nikki McDonald March 17, 2009

Had to come back to see the others. Love the one you chose to post first but I certainly hope we see the others later, especially Windansea Beach. I really like the placement of the sun and the nearness of the foreground rocks there though the dramatic spray of the one you entered today is hard to resist. #7294472
