I like this one even better – especially the ripples in the water near the sand

You’ve really outdone yourself Douglas. You very masterfully have allowed us to see though the edge of the water and so gentlely allowed the light reflection to take over. I am truly impressed with this piece. Adding it to my favorites right now.
