Love the minimalist quality to this one.....and the color palette is quite extraordinary.

Thanks Fo, I try to keep them as simple as possible. It's not always easy, but it is gratifying when it works. Glad you enjoyed this one

Very subtle light ! Love the bannana moon up there Hugh.

Thanks Steve, it was a race for the moon to be low enough to get in the composition while there was still color for the background. Glad you enjoyed this result.

I like this shot a lot, but the moon is a little too close to the top for me. The colors are nice.

Eli

Sorry you didn't enjoy the composition, but glad other aspects worked for you.

Very nice!

Do wish the moon was not so close to the frame edge (causing a little tension).

Mark

Thanks Mark, glad the tension wasn't too great

Lovely! The delicacy of the dune grasses complements the soft colors of the sky and gives it a serenity that makes you want to linger there.

Thanks Lee, I've been working with the flora of the dune areas for a while now, trying to get it right. Glad you enjoyed this result.

Don't know how you always seem to capture those amazing colors, Hugh. Beautifully done.

Very nice image, Hugh. The colors and the elements in this one really work well together. I agree with some of the comments about the moon being a bit close to the edge, but that hardly takes anything away from this fine image. Nice work.

You are stil the master of the art of less is more school. the coulour is fantastic and the minimal amount of beach really grounds the image.

one of your best!

Hi Ed, I know I PMed a reply, but since others bumped this, I didn't want anyone to think I didn't appreciate your kind compliments

. "Finding" color is mostly a matter of being where it might obtain often enough to catch it

In this case, Jose' gets most of the credit. The trip was his idea and he had researched potential shooting locations. After that, luck takes over. Glad you enjoyed the result.

Hello Daniel, thanks for the very kind compliments. I hope we can agree to disagree about the moon, but, in any event, I'm very pleased you mostly enjoyed the image. We had a very productive road trip

Thanks Rob, it's in the nature of beach images looking toward the water that there are limited compositional elements available. And, early and late, unless there is weather to generate clouds, the fewer elements the better to leverage the smooth color gradients. In any event, glad you enjoyed this one - it is on the short list to be printed on canvas.
