Great composition, colours and feeling of movement in the water. I think it is the dynamic feel of the water that makes it for me.

Your technique is beyond compare. This is amazing.
Barbara Sparhawk
It’s all one, isn’t it. The air and water, sky, sand. You always combine that energy so well in your photographs. And your eye for color is superb. I’ve looked at a lot of beaches in photo and real life and this is the first pure apricot I think I’ve ever seen. And there, as it should and must be, repeated in the sky, land, and water. Just great.

Now Mike, this is absolutely stunning, even by your very high standards.
The water movement is perfect, ghostly yet very clear and the colour of the sand is incredible. Those two rocks and their glorious textured tones provide an excellent foreground.
But what really really finishes it off so well for me is that warm strip of light hitting the top of the mountain in the distance. The timing to get everything all together as you have is just superb
Antanas
