Cleo, I wish I had a 6 for this! The scene evokes such a beautiful pensive feeling of solitude. I have always been inclined to search out the road less traveled, away from the tourist magnets. The serenity of returning to the natural way God created it is so moving. Thank you for sharing this jewel!
I emailed you earlier today and hope the address I still have is current. God bless you, Cleo.

Thank you very much! Your review is much more valuable than any golden stars could be. Sorry for being late. I fell ill and was not on line for several days. Just catching up on the most important. I have not looked at the e-mail jet because there is usual not much of personal mail. I will get to it soon!

Comment from gray horse
There is a stillness to this image which fills my heart with peace when I view it. This sounds like a place which I would love to visit...gently, so as not to disturb any of the natural inhabitants or growth. I recently had an argument with my niece who just returned from Mexico and had spent a day on an island where we use to love to stay. She angrily told me that it was "nothing" because there was "nothing" to do there...actually, that is exactly what I liked about it..haha...and this lovely image of yours brings back some wonderful memories of that place. Thank you!

Thank you so much for your review and your lovely comments. Yes I think you would like to visit that lovely beach. Sadly for us these places get less and less.
I don't know why but there are so many people "what can't find any think to do". It seams to look at the waves and the wildlife, feel the wind and water on the skin is boring. I love that boring life and actually most the time I have more to do than I like.

Wonderful Black and White work. The cloudy sky over the fantastic down black part with some branches up of the rest plants. I have to tell about some birds flying "the freedom" over this nature beauty. Thanks for share

Comment from Dazzleme
Nicely done with the angle for this shot. Your use of the black and white works well for this. Good job with the presentaiton. Nice touch with the 2 birds in the shot even though they are small. The sky really is striking with the clouds and yuor foreground grass area is acting as a good silhouette.

Thank you so much for your kind review. The two birds are the cause for cropping the photo to it's current format. I wanted to show the freedom of the border less sky. I thought the smallness of the birds would make the sky bigger.

Beautiful drama in this work! I really like the tonal range presented and the balance of this image. Sharpness in the silhouette is fantastic as is the detail in the clouds. A great pleasure to be able to view your work:)

I like the feel of this back and white you have created. Has lonesome moody feel to which I like a lot. Good sky details and depth. Lovely view. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for your generous review. Yes it has a lonesome moody I should have called it lonesome beach.
Comment from ZenTrip
I like the conversion which adds tremendously to the mood of this many-layered shot.
Once can imagine the nests of turtles down amidst what appears to be airborne sea oats decorating the horizon, and where the Osprey flies in freedom.
So nice to have an area like this were we tourists fail to contaminate the luster of nature and let it remain in its true serenity and naturalness.
A very loving shot.

Your review is lovely. As always you look into the picture. Thanks for seeing what is in it. I appreciate your thoughts very much.
Comment from Surmed
This is a beautifull shot i must say, really like it, and pleasing to the eye, Good contrast on the sky with flow of dark clouds, All you need to leave some space on the bottom. That would be perfect composition, lets not deduct the star for it :)

Thank you so very much for you review. Especially thanks for your helpful critic. I think I did go to far cropping the lower part. I was afraid it would distract since there was nothing bud black.
-
It wouldn't distract even if it was darker, it would have given more stronger impact to this shot. Would have been perfect composition ;)
