Description

The shells were soon covered and swept back out with the tide, a second after I took the shot. This wave reached out further than the other ones had, a sign it was still on the rise.

Wowza! What a beautiful Finalist! Wonderful depth captured, great textures (good timing to catch those beautiful shells before they were swept away), excellent beach tones. Love the amazingly large mass of sea foam - outstanding - never seen anything like it (and I live in TX where EVERYTHING is supposed to be bigger but you Aussie's got us beat on sea foam for sure! :) :) Congratulations on yet another wonderful Finalist, Ms. DU and all the best in the upcoming round! #10299389
