Virgin Sands (not quite)

Posted by Linerberry (Christchurch, New Zealand) on 14 September 2008 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

5/7
Having clambered back down the rocks (again), I walked for a short while enjoying the endless song of the sea. I looked back at my footprints in the sand as it shimmered like gold in the last of the evening sun...

"SILLY TUESDAY ANNOUNCEMENT"

Footprints in the sand,For some strange reason,it makes me feel sad.

14 Sep 2008 2:07pm

@Jeff: I can see were you're coming from Jeff, it could be seen as quite a lonely shot maybe? Don't feel sad for too long!

JoeB from Brampton, Canada

Its always tricky shooting into the sun, the sand texture came out really well. Those are monster footprints (size 16?) OOpps their yours. :D

14 Sep 2008 2:07pm

@JoeB: Oy Oy, they only look big cos of the angle, cheeky begger hahahaha lol!!! Thanks Joe, I really liked the sand texture too, wasn't sure about the sun but thought it could pass as ok. Cheers for your comments:-)

Observing from West Cheshire, United Kingdom

Hi C, a correction. I think this image is your best shot now. You've chosen the right format, got the blazing sun, and great footprints on the golden side.
