Thanks for taking the risk of posting. I like this image a whole lot. It has a great pallet and a sense of place - and of timelessness. It's a beach that might go on forever with a fabulous sky in the background. Someone said "It's like a snapshot from the 40s." Or maybe 50s. Or 60s. Or 70s. There are these great swirls on the beach. Low tide? A sand castle in the making. Or digging for shells? So much context. She has this gentle smile. Oh this is most definitely a keeper. I hope you print it and it hangs in your study or sits on your desk so when she's 16 or 17 you'll remember the breeze and the sound of the surf and cast your mind back to this particular day and this particular place and, in the reverie, recapture a splendid moment of the past. Well seen. Well shot. Adam On Wed, Sep 9, 2009 at 7:51 PM, Richard Clompus <rclompus at mac.com> wrote: > I just posted my first photo in the Leica gallery.
