As I was about to leave, I spotted this shovel in the surf left behind, no doubt, by one of the many kids who was on the beach before the storm hit.   Canon EOS-1Ds Mark II    50 mm    f/2.2    1/320 sec    160 ISO    -0.3 EV   Aug 29, 2012 at 01:33 AM

Mairi Offline • • Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #6 · #516 Back at the Beach Fantastic shot! If I was being really picky the only thing I would say is that I'd prefer to see a little breathing space below the shadow of the spade and I'd lose the frame. (but that's just personal taste) That said, I'm sure you have the winning shot here. Well done! :-) Aug 29, 2012 at 04:48 PM

Thank you, Lindy, for picking up on the transitions between sand, sea and sky. That is what I had hoped to accomplish. Aug 29, 2012 at 05:14 PM

Given time, I would have composed it slightly differently. I had waded out into the surf to get this shot as the surf was retreating, and I had only about 10 seconds to stick the shovel in the sand and set up before the surf came roaring back in; therefore, I lowered the camera to just above the water level, took the shot, took a quick look at the LCD, then made a run for dry land before my camera and shirt pockets got filled with salt water. When I looked back, the shovel was washing back out to sea. There really is a limit to just how far one is willing to go to "get the shot." Thank you for your insight.

Mairi Offline • • Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #12 · #516 Back at the Beach Robert, I'm even more impressed that you waded out into the surf to get this shot. It truly is a wonderful capture. I appreciate how difficult it is to get the perfect shot with such time constraints. Glad you didn't get washed away with the shovel! ;-) This is certainly my favourite entry this week. Good luck!
