Description
it was cloudy the day I was at the beach, but every so often, the sun would peek thru. This was one of those moments.
When I looked at this shot, I thought of my friend who passed while I was out there. Maybe this was the moment, or maybe not, but it surely gave me pause.

Beautiful shot of this God ray Marilyn, and nice surf at the beach... Well done!!
Maybe it was her sending you rays of hope! Wonderful sentiment and image Marilyn! :)
So atmospheric, love the monochromeness of the shot.
super atmospheric shot
Great shot an fantastic title!
Lovely!
wonderful capture
This is gorgeous...one of your best lately. Goingt to faves!!! Like your thought about your friend. Let's choose to say it is...
that sea look wild. wonderful shot
Spectacular! I do expect to see a body rising up from the water. Great shot!
the light quality is beautiful, and the blue-grays, like deep metal. It's a beautiful shot, the light is beautiful (you even got the spotlight it made on the horizon), and another capture of this magnificent beast you walk by so often. And your words about JoAnn I'm sure are true: How can the ocean not call one who's passed, to it? Maybe it was like someone showing you a panorama of a city you've just arrived at--from a hotel balcony--to say, "this is the place you'll be seeing, starting tomorrow!" Maybe the ocean was showing her the vista she was about to enter, and embracing her like an all-protecting mother...and you heard her cry out, as she passed, "I'm in the wind!" Wonderful picture; and I'm with bill: To the faves...
I know what you mean. Sometimes a moment in nature is so beautiful it stops you in your tracks and a passed loved ones face just appears. Yes definately pause for thought.
What a gorgeous image! I love the way this turned out. Beautiful.
The pause is what matters my dear! You felt one, you felt something, and like a child seeing Santa Claus at Christmas that has become far to secular, you definitely sensed something profound. What's even better is that you captured it. That light and those darker, very turbulent colors work in a strange and wonderful way together. (I read turbulence mostly because of what darker clouds always imply.) This is an image of a pause, and more than that it's like a true haiku (14th century style) that's presented with depth and real soul, and is somehow improvised and caught on the fly. (Chiyo-ni and Bassho were undisputed masters at that.) I also want to say that Corey wanted to comment on this, but didn't get the chance. Things are a bit...well...let's just say that Corey is doing really well...and on a level, incredibly well...but whenever I visit and whenever we're sharing computer space/time, a particular roommate of his develops something I've come to call Chronic Interference Syndrome. So suffice it to say that you're going to be receiving at least one more comment on this, minimum. I could easily type it for him as he dictates it, but he wants the comment to be his own...typed with his own fingers, and in many pronounced ways, your work (especially this piece) really drives that point home for him. And so having said that, I'll say for both of us, this image is superb.
SUPERB !!!
