Corey Brown, 7 months ago

Wonderful image Deb – I bet by now you are looking forward to a bit of warm weather.

Sharon Hammond, 7 months ago

Gorgeous

Naomi Frost, 7 months ago

WOW..Deb..Love this. Awesome reflections. I also love how you can just make out the footprints in the sand before they are washed away completely.

Karin Taylor, 7 months ago

lovely lovely capture

Romeo Koitmäe, 7 months ago

Beautiful scene and very nice reflection. Excellent work!

Simon Gladwin, 7 months ago

Lovely shot Debs….has a real 35mm cine feel to it. Love the vignetting and the grain. The blobs of foam in the foreground are sublime. The light and sky are wonderful! Lovely photo!

great capture

Ian James, 7 months ago

Great work it really makes me want to get out in some nice weather I am getting tired of the ice cold weather here in the UK. Our office is so cold my hands go numb. the feel of this shot is really nice the tones are perfect and the uncluttered composition is spot on.

I love that evenly streaked sky, such a beautiful image…..It’s very serene.

Deborah Parkin, 7 months ago

Thank you everyone for your wonderful comment – really appreciate them :)

Ken Mucke, 7 months ago

Just perfect Deb….I just love the moment in time that was captured here….so still and calm….if we are very quiet, we can hear the water coming in and going out….Perfectly blended tones…There will never be another moment quite like this captured…...It is almost voyeristic in the sense that we get a glimpse of a very sepcial bond out there….Brilliant shot as always Deb

Nice.

Jo Fedora, 7 months ago

That’s it…yearning image..tangible

RichardV, 7 months ago

Excellent capture Deb. I like the dark edges, which I have noticed you do a lot, and, I hope you dont mind, I have started to do similar in some of my B&W work.

Deborah Parkin in reply to RichardV’s comment, 7 months ago

of course i don’t mind Richard – flattered even :) Thanks for you kind comment.

Basia McAuley, 7 months ago

Excellent composition, love the simplicity, the reflections and the beautiful silvery tones.

chris blackwell, 7 months ago

nice shot deb

Vedran Arnautovic, 7 months ago

Love the tones and the reflection on the sand. I think the grain works really well too. Great shot

Douzy, 7 months ago

What I love most about this picture are the 2 reflections. Also, the vignetting really draws me in. Very intense mood too, beautiful…

Karen Gough, 7 months ago

What a fabulous shot, Deb. the detail in the foreground and the waves just pulls you into the image. Love the frame created by the darkened edges, too. Well done, as usual!

Halcyon007, 7 months ago

Well, it’s nearly a landscape shot I guess… (Lot more colour and some rocks and, oh, sorry….)

The figures add to the scale and occasion, although it’s hard to tell it’s summer from here. People go into the sea at all times of the year and the b/w stripped down to this minimalist image makes it impossible to guess the season.

I like the reflections in the wet sand and those small pebbles in the sand at the front are great too.

Love what you’ve done to the sky. Almost like charcoal

cdwork, 7 months ago

Simply stunning

Mutahir, 7 months ago

lovely capture..!! Profound ! Into my favorites !!

Christina Martin, 7 months ago

very real :)

billyboy, 7 months ago

Cool the way you vignetted the edges… makes it look like a still from an old 8mm home movie, like digging out the family treasures of days gone by. Lovely vibe!

debbie lacey, 7 months ago

wow what a wonderful image debs it feels good to look at

Julie Langford, 7 months ago

Colin Hollywood, 7 months ago

Gorgeous image – well done!

Rhana Griffin, 7 months ago

How is it that something so minimalistic, when treated by you has this huge presence? I adore what you have done here Deb…. I love the fading footprints in the sand.

rosedew, 7 months ago

So beautiful

Mark Gardner, 7 months ago

wonderful Deb, has such atmosphere, even though in b/w it still has real warmth and as all your images do, feeling, a lovely, carefree shot that will bring back memories for so many

Paul Vanzella, 7 months ago

...it’s the placement of each element that makes this image for me… and the mood of the tones. Wonderful image!

Silvia Manuela, 7 months ago

Beautiful, I like the framed effect, makes it even more of a portal.

Deborah Parkin in reply to Halcyon007’s comment, 7 months ago

Yes, that’s it Stuart – this is my landscape shot and the nearest you will get me to doing one :)
Thanks for the lovely comment too :)

Graham Dean, 7 months ago

The foreground comes up so close it seems to go past me. What a wonderful picture Deb, with beautiful notions.

Martin Derksema, 7 months ago

Love it. Looks like a memory or flashback. There is such a beautiful silence in this image … although … I cán hear the sea and the wind. Strong, poetical feel-good image!

nice work, thanks for being supportive

SylviaHardy, 7 months ago

This is a beautiful capture Deborah and I have missed it somehow? Anyway, caught up eventually, lol! I love the black and white tones and the scene is dreamy! But then you always know what you are doing!

shawhouse, 7 months ago

okay, more time… love your use of vignette in this, especially on the bottom, how you left the rocks,or shells – enhances the viewer’s perception that those two are reeeeally far away. One of the rocks is as big as the man. very cool. the sand looks wet and I don’t know if you added or enhanced the reflections, but they look great. the pic tells a story, to be sure, but the technique here is what knocks me out..

sabbysingh, 7 months ago

Just Wow feel… Amazing shot..

Geri Bragg, 7 months ago

Jeff Burns, 7 months ago

Matthew Bonnin..., 7 months ago

Deborah this is just simply beautiful. The reflections and the white wash(?) at the bottom are lovely start elements.
Great stuff.

Louise Cooke, 7 months ago

Love love love this Deb! It’s a stunner of an image, made perfect by those little white details in the foreground and the reflections in the wet sand. Awesome work!

gordonatant, 7 months ago

Deb, this is another example of your excelent bw style, (I wish I knew how you did it) the lines in the sky and the reflections of the people do it for me

ozczecho, 7 months ago

Perfect…stunning image Deborah…love the bubbles at the edge of the frame….great contrast.
