Dave Warren
Wonderful image R, so clear and crisp, an instant fave
Rosalie Dale IPA replied
My hero!!! Thanks so much Dave for the favouriting – pleased you like the trio of reeds.
Tracey-Anne Pryke
great shot ….from the thumbnail I thought they where sail’s on the sea
Rosalie Dale IPA replied
Funny you should mention sails – I spent 2 hours working on a sand dune shot, attemtpting to insert two different sailing ships (“ships” of the desert!!) but wasn’t happy so went to this as Plan B!! So pleased you like it Tracey – thank you.
Maximus
it’s all in what you see & you Rosalie see beauty. :)
Rosalie Dale IPA replied
My eyes are strange Max – they put frames around everything!!! So glad it appeals to you. xx
Stuart Chapman
Like the minimalist approach Rosalie. The textures in the ripples add to it, as do the footprints but it’s the shadows that combine so well with the grass that makes this shot.
Rosalie Dale IPA replied
A man after my own heart – huge thanks for the fav Stuart and the kind words.
Tracey-Anne Pryke
oooooo I think this is plan A….great work
John Edwards
Beautiful composition
Rosalie Dale IPA replied
John thank you so much!
Warren Williams
Plan B not to bad, what was walking along the top of the image. ?
Rosalie Dale IPA replied
Hmmmm – from the small amount of activity around I’d say it would have either been a human, a bird, or a horse Warren!!! Thanks for the visit and kind words!

GailD
As said. Very simplistic. But it is a very effective image. The colour has come up well.
Rosalie Dale IPA replied
I was told I looked like “Where’s Wally” on this day Gail popping up and down among the sand dunes in a striped top!!! I think it was worth the indignity … thank you!!
georgieboy98
It never ceases to amaze me just what is out there waiting to be photographed if only we could see it. You are one of those who are able to see it and the result in this case is stunning. Excellent work. Peter
Rosalie Dale IPA replied
G’day Peter
So pleased you like this – sometimes I struggle with the huge vistas (and this beach area is full of them) and get more out of the smaller ‘finds’ !! Thanks for the encouragement!
Gilberte

bmckain
Really like this image, good job at making somethng so common interesting.
mhkantor
exquisite. very zen. sand like water (except for the very top with indents instead of waves or ripples). fantastic shadows like thin brush strokes or of ink and pen. exquisite.
Rosalie Dale IPA replied
I so much appreciate your encouragement – so glad it appeals to you.
loramae
This really is simple…but has such a large impact in the word endurance…I think this is one word to use to describe the photographer :O)
Andy Harris
Great work Rosalie… Super composed and very well shot!
Prasad
I liked the use of space and placement of these small grass weeds, with light and textures of sand. All of these factors making an excellent demonstration of an art form and philosophy , both joining hands together with minimalism.
Exceptional perspective. This is just how you are different, here.
Rosalie Dale IPA replied
Prasad thank you so much for your kind words.
suefel48
