Beautifully captured with the sun behind the clouds. Excellent exposure throughout! This is kind of retro for you isn't it? I recall you posted a similar pic when I made a call for everyone's first digital pic. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Steve. You are one amazing individual. This shot is exquisite. Te exposure, composition, and lighting are unbelievable. It is good having you back after your trip. Thanks for the inspiration!

Another first rate image Mr. Beach. I like the way the sun is behind the clouds. Very nice...

What a stunning shot, the lining of the cloud is fabulous and there's plenty of interest with the character flying the kite which leads the eye into that sky (did i say that I liked the syy? Well i do!), The light house in the background and light caught on the stripes of still water on the beach all add to this super shot...

Hi Steve, beautiful shot, the sun behind the clouds, the silhouette of the themed personality, a beautiful beach, and the peacefulness of the shot. They all add up to "Learning to fly".

Thanks Mike, we're indeed fortunate to live on a peninsula and have miles of beach on my doorstep, but thats why me and mrs beachcomber moved here
