Superb shots! Steve will love your beach in the first shot, it's spectacular. I also love the PP effects in the last ones, they look awesome!

[Sheriliz]

Beautiful work. The first 2 are just so stunning. Your shots make me want to walk on a beach......I live near Dallas Texas so that's not going to happen anytime soon.

Really like the second shot. What is a walk on the beach without seagulls right?

Nice.

Hello Vin - you couldn't have picked a perfect day to go to the beach....wow ... these are incredible images ... enjoy each one of them

Spectacular shots Vin, thats a lot of power behind that crashing wave. I love the shot of the seagulls flying over the stone wall. And the painted coastguard is another masterpiece.

Thanks Sky, I have almost as much fun playing around with different editing styles then being out and shooting, not everyone likes so much maniputaions, I'm glad you do.

Thanks Nikki, whenever I'm at the beach, I think of Steve, I hope he likes them, and I'm really glad you do.

Thanks Sher, I went out yesterday with no set purpose and just wanted to see what I could find. The wind made things a little hard to shoot things.. but it did create some good photo ops , thanks for your kind words.

Thanks Storm, well there were plenty of seagulls riding the wind, that flock all seemed to decide to move to a different area at once.. I took quite a few of them, but the wind was pushing me all over and most were blurred, I was glad to get one or two keepers, thanks for your kind words.

Thanks Haywood.. it's really wasn;t such a perfect day... wind had to be blowing at 40mph at times, I had trouble just trying to be still while I was shooting... but the wind also caused some pretty cool scenes... glad you like them and thanks very much for the " wow " !

Thanks Angela, the seqgulls really challanged me to find the right focus setting, I settled on evaluative metering to try and get as many clear as I could.

Thanks very much for your compliment on the Coast Guard painting, I know there are not to everyone's taste.. but I really enjoy doing them and they are a bit of work, I'm still leaning and gaining experiance and sometimes I'm not sure if they are good or not... a few kind words goes a long way for my confidence with them.

Thanks everyone, I appreciate all your comments
