Lovely shot, you'll have to try to get it again without the footprints then it would be top drawer.

Sublime image, clever, very clever to contrast the sand ripples with the strong angular shadows.
Great simplicity is only won by an intense moment or by years of intelligent effort. T.S Eliot

The shadows look as if they belong somewhere else, other than on a beach!
I think the footprints belong!

Love it.

Thanks everyone. Your kind remarks are much appreciated. It was so nice to get out in some bright sunshine and use the K10 (for the first time) at low ISO where it's reputed to shine...

I'm undecided, Paul. Of course, a pristine shot was impossible after a small clutch of walkers had passed through, but it adds something to the shot, a human element, perhaps. I'm still not sure...
Best wishes,

Andrew
