Description
In contrast to yesterday's image, this is a close-in shot of the sand. The hollow (center left) is a footprint, and that little piece of wood (bottom right) is probably three inches long.

almost like a science fiction scene - great shot
An interesting perspective. Without the piece of wood this could easily have been taken for something much larger. The play of light and shadow is really very good.
Superb capture Tara. God bless.
WOW! Perfect shot, Tara. Love the details AND the footprint... in full zoom.
So Pretty !!!!!
A lizard's eye view. It could be any scale without your description.
Nice to see you and Bill are still on your year trek...Fantastic photo....
Looks great my friend!!!!
A fantastic capture Tara. The low pov and the low light it brings out the detail!
Very good shot !
Nice play between light and shadow, , superb capture!
in zoom this is vast and miniature at the same time. Yes, it could be a large overview; but in zoom, we see the pebbles, and they really do look like pebbles. Wonderful shot of the complexity of nature, at it's most intimate perspective. And the footstep and other indentations are rounded and sensual. And the light and dark waft across the surface like thought, and the objects in the lower right corner give solidity and reference-points to the whole. More beautiful flowing shadow and texture work from you.
I'm still looking for the wee, tiny people..... LOL
I love the light and shadow, Tara - and the wonderful texture of the sand really knocks this out of the park.
strangely evocative, haunting, etheral yet simply what the eye sees....
