Nice picture, but the name worries me. That looks a lot like a sewer line, so I hope your dreams are not attached to that one pipe in particular :-)

thankyou everyone for your kind words, and yes it was a sewer pipe lol no dreams being flushed down there!!

the slow shutter gave it that silky dreamy look so pipe and dreamy look is where i got the name.

Hi Carl, I think, C, the richness of the blue is an obvious factor that makes this photo appealing. What draws me are the mini-abstracts--the pebbles on the beach, the texture in the waves, the swirls of light. And it moves. You can feel the surge of the waves. Very nice and certainly makes the point that beauty can be found anywhere.

Not much I can add to the previous comments. Just wanted to drop a note to say, "Well done!"
