This is beautiful...and the soft focus on the couple in the background is a lovely touch. I'm just wondering whether you considered cloning out that little dark spot at the lower left edge? Congratulations on this outstanding POD! #9706845Nikki McDonald September 30, 2011
Beautiful light and color. The layers of subtly repeated shapes -- dry beach, wet beach, group of sandpipers, and waves washing up -- is particularly nice. Congratulations on the POTD, Allen. #9706918Mary K. Robison September 30, 2011
