lovely image Mel, ...from my point of view I like it’s simplicity and the way that the diagonal lines of the rippled sand direct the viewer’s eye to the subject, ...very nice.

Texture and composition wonderful. Works in b/w very well.

The subtle changes in tones make a compelling view.

Wonderful.

A beatiful and tranquil setting and so clear! Love the soft B+W tones in this and the simple composition.

A fine photo Mel!

Beautiful Mel. Love the texture of the sand ripples, the lonely tree on it’s own and the reflection.

Lovely Mel. I haven’t been out for a while. Going away Australia Day weekend though. Looking forward to some time with the camera then. As usual, you have inspired me.

this IS a wonderful scene and photo..well done!

Great ripples capture Mel and taking the eye right to the tree. Spot on.

combinatin of textures and tones work so well

There is something rather special with the distance the tide goes out in Queensland. Lovely shot, I feel like I am there!

Simple, understated, so effective!

Lovely tones and sand patterns Mel. Looks great in b&w as well. John

You have a way of capturing the essence of things! Great work Mel!
By the way…I wish my days would end like this… you live in a great place

Less is more, and your beautiful shot, with off-center tree and reflection, demonstrates how the simple can be stunning.
