Superb capture Carin. God Bless.

What's that saying about 'turnabout is fair play'? Lovely black and white image.

An excellent composition, bravo!!

A super shot and a great viewpoint Carin.

Fantastic view and mood. Excellent monochrome shot!

Terrific composition!

Nice POV on this Carin.

What a marvellous shot. Very beautiful indeed and I liked the story behind it :)

Splendid image, Carin! Wonderful capture! :)

Beautiful shot, the people look so small next to the sea. :)

Fantastic image Carin

EXCELLENT WORK! I'D WISH TO SEE THE WOMAN'S SHOT OF YOU....

Beyond stellar in this capture from atop the dune, Carin. Love the contrast and textures.

A classic!

Mono suits this well, Excellent shot.

wonderful compo

Love the atmosphere the b/w has brought to the pic!!

What a wonderful scene this is! Great capture.

stunning capture!

As a man I always worry about taking a camera to the beach, you're never sure what people might think your motives are, which is a real shame. Maybe I just imagine that? Anyway I get around it by going to the seaside in October when it's very cold !! This is such a lovely shot, worthy of blowing up large and hanging on a wall.

Excellent capture!!

This gives a great idea of the SIZE here! A vast beach for sure! Good shot Carin.. Rob

I really like the B&W, Carin! Clive

That's a really good shot. Great play with depth of vision and I love how the black and white brings out the textures.

stunning photo !

I love your composition, and mono was a great choice for this beautiful shot! Your story about the woman taking your picture is cool. I wonder how many people have taken my picture, and I have no idea? :)

This is superb! I love the whole composition and the sense of scale and perspective. This reminds me of some of the paintings I've seen over the years, and I can't remember the artists, but there's one called "Icarus Descending" and even though Icarus...um...well...he's descending (actually he's mostly descended and you only see his legs!) The thing about that shot is there's this guy plowing his field. Both he and Icarus are tiny, little bits of the overall picture, and yet they're the focus. It's more like a kind of "putting everything in perspective" kind of an image, where you have humans IN an environment, and this photo has the same kind of effect on me. I love that the family is both diminutive and in silhouette. I think it allows the viewer into the shot in a more interactive way, because the viewer has to guess at who the people are: they're ciphers in a sense, and so the viewer has a little bit of a chance to collaborate with you, the photographer and so there's a bigger chance of making up a story, or bringing a story out of this image! And then there's that drama! Nature does drama so well. Sand. Waves. BIG, whompin' gobs of open space! How superb! And to top it off, it's in black and white, which really does heighten all of the non-visual business that often takes place in photography. I like this immensely. And on another note, it's making me think about the story collection, "Searoad" by Ursula. K. LeGuin. I like that connection. I like this image. Nice shootin'!

An impressive composition, and those mysterious footprints in the sand is like the icing on the cake! ;) BB

Absolutely lovely capture, Carin!

This is a wonderful photo Carin!
