Icy Beach at Smith’s Point

~ Sharon

What an extraordinary soft light! And beautifully composed image, with the long shadows leading along the beach to the horizon.

Thank you, Claude. This beach gets some wonderful light.

Killer image Sharon. Love the ripples, snow fence shadows, and the leading lines. Wall art for sure.
A wee crop off the right between the two fence lines might even make this a bit stronger.

Thank you, Tim. I’ll take a look at your crop suggestion.

White lava!

It is! And it was amazingly hard to walk on. Thanks for commenting, Ciel.

Sharon, love the dramatic light play with the interesting shadows and how the S curves takes you off into the background.

Thank you, Steve!

That is very interesting seeing snow at the beach. It might not be all that unusual where you live, but you sure won’t see that here in Southern California! The texture of the snow sure is fascinating.

Ben, it’s not that common here. I went out the other night and got into a snowstorm on the beach. It was incredible with snow blowing down the beach and white-out conditions. It was just me and the gulls and pipers.

Beautiful texture and long light…awesome
Looks cold and crunchy!

Thanks Harry!

Fantastic shot – lighting and composition are spot on. Great texture in the snow. One of your best.

Thanks, Ben. This is my favorite beach here.

Sharon

Oh my gosh…. those shadows! Beautiful lighting, color and textures.

Thank you, Diane!
