Stunning. I love the perspective and the patterns. Excellent work.

lovely shot mel….......great detail

Ditto – those ridges caught by light are magic.

Excellent shot the ripples in the sand the trees the colours are just fantastic.

Those ridges are very eye catching! Great work Mel! :D

Wow, great nature texture and designing, Looks sort of like flames or maybe solar flares encompassing the suns craterlike surface on their way towards the earth…

this is georgeous , what a view to wake to!

The textures in this shot are just awesome Mel, what a find, well done.

Stunning picture Mel. Love the texture and the funny craters.

Great sand ripples and depth Mel.

This is a great shot…

Awesome image GR8 textures well done

Fantastic shapes and light,well seen and taken,Mel!!

this is wonderfully done , what a great view

The immense scale is the instant draw. Those lines within the sand just rush your eyes straight through to the trees, but they take a while to get there, stopping off at the water midway to observe the stunning reflection of the fortcoming trees.

I like the positioning of the horizon, so it just fits the trees in nicely but focuses the shot on the textureous ground

amazing patterns in the foreground just take on a journey here… great image Mel!

Mel, I love the way you deal with texture, whether it`s rocks or ripples or foamy water, you bring out the detail in a way that amazes us all. Like Stuart says, you use the perspective and powerful texture to suck us right into the frame and your lovely composition. Amazing, as usual!

Aaah!! Beautiful Sea Scape!! Those patterns and textures are divine!!

Awesome perspective, Mel – there is such distance in this shot. I love how the lines lead you right up to the trees and the little people.
