Lazy Daze

Yes, they are my feet and I’m relaxing on the beach watching the kids play in the water. I gave this image some texture and it reminds me of a very lazy, Aussie summer’s day at the beach.

    Basia, Firstly this is Excellent Work !!! Me too, it reminds me of my “much younger days’, the colour, framing and aging, all a bit too similar to dad & mum’s slides !!!! Well Done !!

    Really like the colour palette and the added texture you have used here, you have got this so absolutely bang-on that this image is like a time machine unlocking memories from the distant past in the mind of the viewer…...awsome.
