Description
My beloved Kirra Beach, on the southern end of the Gold Coast is my most favourite subject, especially at Christmas time, when we go swimming - sorry you guys, who have to shovel snow instead ;(
But don't forget it, you are all invited to partake in some beach frolics, just don't forget to bring your cozzies!
(explanation here, if you are unfamiliar with our slang - it stands for beach costume)
... and now you have heard of the Aussie-Cozzie ;P
BTW I tried my hand at Filter Forge again with the colorizer ... I really loved the contrast,
oh, and the big DIVIDE ? - 'it's of Land & Sea' ;)

A truly timeless subject. Well done BB! Tara and I are going as far south as we can go later this month...southern tip of Texas...no snow there:)
Beautiful light, composition and colour. A fine image.
Beautiful! I love the composition. What a wonderful abstract this is, and my favorite subject! :)
Excellent! I love the glowing divide.
Amazing!!! Excellent work, Brigitte!
I have a great many cozzies! I have ones for serious swimming in the pool which are chlorine resistant, ones for swimming in the sea, and a couple for sunbathing at the beachhut. Then I have ones that I can garden in without my elderly boobs popping out when I'm weeding and frightening passers by if I'm in the front garden. And I have one vintage one which I must photograph. I love this photo!
love to see the 'ancient' one for prosperity sake ;P
Great photo, and from a distance it could be small pieces if ice breaking away from a barely frozen surface! Loved Andrea's comment but I was confused by the vintage one she must photograph...was that the elderly boob or the cozzie?
Love the shot BB and perhaps this is the place the girls on the catwalk should be wearing their high heels!!! Too much info from Andrea!
cool compo, colors & lighting
The colorizer effect looks great and gives this beach scene an Alien feel or did you take a trip off-world ? LOL Beach sounds like a good idea, lets go ! ~Cheers~
Keep on enjoying the beach... Nice shot. Aloha
A simple yet very beautiful shot Brigitte, how I envy you the weather too, enjoy it :)
Superb capture, Brigitte, I would wade into the sea too!
Great capture and nice colors and lighting!!

Beautiful image. I really like what you did with the colors.
Like a moonlight serenade ... I am fascinated by what you do with simple means. I put on my winter outfit .... and think how nice and warm you have it .... Hugs Julchen

Lovely lighting and I like your color filter. Love all the bubbles on the water half of your photo!
Brit, I knew you could make wonders.. this is a good example.. eXXXcellent!

wow, what a stunning picture Brigitte!! how very beautiful done, so soft light - and think its summer and christmas, both!!
Yes love that area, we are so lucky for what we have here. great shot.
A very beautiful picture, dear Brigitte! The foam of the sea, seems to be all small fish.
Amazing capture. Very well done
This is a beautiful image! I love the soft variations of color and light, the beautiful glowing divide, and the sparkling sand and bubbles. I haven't shopped for 'cozzies' in donkey's years. I don't even like trying on jeans. Maybe a vintage 'cozzie' . . . One that's rather full and goes down below the knee? lol. You put a Kate Wolf song in my head: "And I've been siftin' through the layers Of dusty books and faded papers They tell a story I used to know It was one that happened so long ago It's gone away in yesterday And I find myself on the mountainside Where the rivers change direction Across the Great Divide"
