Barry from Kingwood, United States

Thanks Eric. Just looking at it and I can hear the waves. Excellent photo.
Did you use special lighting in this? Love the shadows.

@Barry: Nothing special but late afternoon sunlight!

Observing from West Cheshire, United Kingdom

Beautiful color, I love the beach. After the Chester series I have some shells scheduled.

@Observing: Thanks so much, Mike! I'd like to get back down to the beach for a couple of days, perhaps after the kids go back to school...There is a cemetery in Galveston with some incredible stonework, and I'd like to get some shots from there.

Great textures to this shot. And the afternoon light is perfect. Wish i was there now. Thanks for your comments, too. I think my butterflies have a ways to go compared to your amazing Cockrell series. Guess I'll just have to keep shooting, huh?

@willow: It's one thing to shoot photos of butterflies trapped inside a glass building being fed on nectar and fruit, and quite another thing completely to stalk them in the outdoors! Your butterfly photos are as good as any I've seen taken in the wild!

I'm not too sure you'd enjoy it very much here right now...temps in the high 90's with heat index in the 106-108 range...Mid-October...absolutely beautiful, as long as were not having a hurricane or a flood event! ;)

Tammy from Nonoichi, Japan

I love how simple and peaceful this photo is. It reminds me of calm days on the beach.

@Tammy: Thank you, Tammy, it's a very peaceful photo for me, too. Good memories...

Earnest from Oklahoma, United States

This one turned out great but I don't like the name... I would prefer Sand and Shell... :-D

@Earnest: I was thinking it should be "And Sand Shell", but that would be....

@dj.tigersprout: Thank you very much, DJ!

This shot just cheered me up after my long stay in bed with the flu, thanks Eric ;)
I love sand and shells close up, and here the magic light is such a lovely touch.
