Fabulous colour in this one – and I love the texture and perspective that the departing water in the foreground adds to the image – gorgeous!

Mel I’m really enjoying your images from this location. Your composition is always a treat. I look forward to the day when you are there and nature puts on a light show for us all. For this sort of photography I think a wet bum is mandatory. Well done.

Hey Mel
I think this is my favorite of the Dicky series. I love the colours of f/g and water as well as patterns in f/g sand.
Sky doesn’t do much for me, but you can’t really control that can you… if the sky was different , your lovely lighting might not has been as nice.
Great work.. sincerely
