The more I look at this picture the more I see. The footprints in the sand, the movement of the water, the shadow of the man. The contrast of the smooth sand to waves in the water is very nice.
The use of Black and White is very nice. Only question, did you take the picture when the sun was not as direct?
Great shot!
If the light was different, the picture would not have the same look. I shot the photo at about 4 o'clock in the afternoon. It probably would have been better if I had waited a little later as the shadow of the person would have been longer and the footprints more noticable. I'm a bit disappointed in this shot actually as I shot this on digital and the highlights are blown out with no detail. The digital camera just doesn't have the dynamic range to handle a contrasty lighting scene. Also the camera I'm using doesn't have manual settings for the exposure so I'm at the mercy of the auto setting.
I was going to say something about that blown highlight smack dab in the middle of the picture, but you beat me to it. It's kind of obtrusive to the overall mood of the shot. That's why most prosumer level and above digital cameras are tuned to underexpose a bit (to avoid blown highlights).
The composition is very nice. I like the repetition of the diagonal lines beginning with the waves on the upper right, then the wet sand line, then the footprints. They draw the eye to the man walking with his shadow.
I like beach shots. Anyone else have one to post? I have one that I might post soon.
