Solitude

Marvelous….........................

Simply stunning Mel

I feel like that in a different hemisphere – We had our hottest day for months in the middle of October last weekend!

Love the textures in the sand, especially right in the foreground, the sand looks really parched and dry but is being lapped by the water.

Stunning work Mel , really beautiful.

beautiful shot Mel,,,, love the textures and the earthy tones,,,, well done

ah mel… just gorgeous…. something about the light is just ethereal….. this one reminds me a little of pv’s work… the same sensual feel to it…........ bravo…..........b

Bring on the Sun! Love this Mel!

Wonderful, great treatment as always …

Mel, this is so beautiful … the contrast between the water and the dry sand is remarkable, truly striking.

brilliant treatment, great image

not that far away judging by this Mel, beautiful work

...and so looking forward to it. Beautiful work.

What a wonderfully nostalgic postcard. And I love the way it works so well having your horizon in the center… almost looks vaguely like a reflection. OK, maybe it`s last night`s drugs still in my system? Magical tones, superb blending… awesome take!

I llike the texture & detail in the f/ground & the fisho’s & boats in the b/ground..nice depth

whatever you have done…..
DO IT AGAIN…mel…i love it
