Enough. by graemestevens

Enough.

I've had enough of rainbows and colour to last me a lifetime. With that in mind I present to you a perfectly gloomy beach shot because deep down, buried in the unplumbed depths of my soul, I'm a miserable tit that would give Victor Meldrew a run for his money.
And gloomy it is. Nice wave action against the driftwood and the processing is perfect! FAV.

As my mother would have said were she still with us - "It's being so cheerful that keeps you going!". Like the anger and fury in the clouds and the sea.
July 30th, 2015  
Graeme, your transparency never ceases to intrigue me. Nice shot.
July 30th, 2015  
It's lovely. The action, textures, moodiness - perfectly lovely!
July 30th, 2015  
Quite powerful, esp on black! Not gloomy; epic!
July 30th, 2015  
This one is absolutely up to scratch, very suitably gloomy.
July 30th, 2015  
@juliedduncan Thank you very much :)
@melston Thank you very much, appreciated
@kareenking Transparent? Moi? And thank you :)
@vignouse A wise woman...I'm cheerful in my own way, usually when others are miserable ;)
@susanalena Thank you very much :)

@golftragic Thank you kindly, just what I was aiming for ;)
July 30th, 2015  
Love the action of the water. Looks quite turbulent.
July 30th, 2015  
If there were Foam Monsters that fed on wood, it would look like this. FAV.
July 30th, 2015  
I happen to like it. Great sky. Miserable tit, a mutually contradictory statement.
July 30th, 2015  
Wonderful! The water looks alive!!
July 30th, 2015  
Dramatic storm tossed surf. Fave
July 30th, 2015  
Well done--a gloomy beach shot. But sadly, it's an interesting well composed one...
July 30th, 2015  
@taffy Thank you - I tried so hard to make it miserable ;)
@texastrails Thank you very much :)
@photographycrazy I hope not...I put my foot in there...
@bigugly I'm always contradictory. And don't you dare tell me otherwise.
@fotoblah Actually, I quite like the sound of those foam monsters...and thanks
@aecasey Thanks very much - just another day at another beach
July 30th, 2015  
Even if this is a morning shot - it still looks like moonlight! - T'was on a Moonlicht Nicht....."
July 30th, 2015  
Yeah. Waaaay to much color in that last one! ;-) I do love the dark...
July 30th, 2015  
Hoping that this mean looking water didn't engulf you?
July 30th, 2015  
Moody beach shot - I like - the oceans aren't all bright colours and sunshine
July 30th, 2015  
Beaches are never gloomy. Dramatic? Yes, any day outside is a good day says me who works in a cave all week.
July 30th, 2015  
A rough shot with some fine edges
July 30th, 2015  
@maggiemae Definitely morning, no one goes out at night because I might be around. Including me ;)
@aikiuser Wasn't there though...and thanks :)
@dibzgreasley I only got two of my feet wet...
@pixiemac Certainly not, and I prefer them this way anyway!
@deliad I'd love to work in a cave...the fun I could have!
@mastermek Thank you I think ;)
July 30th, 2015  
Wow, amazing sea and the sky is just awesome!
July 30th, 2015  
@graemestevens That makes me shudder - how many are there of you?
July 30th, 2015  
Fabulously dark
July 30th, 2015  
@denisef58 thank you kindly, just the way I like it.
@maggiemae More than enough...
@nitrogene Thank you very much :)
July 30th, 2015  
This just about sums up my mind at the moment! Dark, turbulent never ending debris! I love this!
July 30th, 2015  
@Cherrill Thank you very much - my mind is always like this. Every day. You get used to it ;)
July 30th, 2015  
HEW
love the drama to this, brilliant
July 30th, 2015  
You're never sure :)
July 30th, 2015  
Fabulous :)
July 30th, 2015  
Excellent.
July 30th, 2015  
The cheerful needs misery for balance.
July 30th, 2015  
@spanner thank you sir, always appreciated
@hermann thank you very much indeed
@mastermek It just means I can agree or disagree at the drop of a hat ;)
@hwhittle77 thank you very much :)
July 30th, 2015  
@yaorenliu It does indeed and I'm here to provide that balance ;)
July 30th, 2015  
yeah! Just say (and show) what's on your mind. I like that, no matter what.
July 30th, 2015  
love the drama of this
July 30th, 2015  
Great textures!
July 30th, 2015  
Please - admit your 'color' shots (with tiny amounts of color in them) are amazing! But so is this - so dramatic. While you are lucky to live near beaches where the waves are so active, you do so well bringing out their intensity with each of your shots. Love.
July 30th, 2015  
Fantastic shot...Fav
July 30th, 2015  
Sem
this is great and I'm glad you're back, i think it's infectious
July 30th, 2015  
@semjaja It's a dangerous route to travel down I think.
@tonygig Thank you very much :)
@kerosene Thank you very much - we only have 5 beaches, all within 10 minutes of home, so the choice is difficult...
@lsanderson55 Thank you very much :)
@barb_b Thank you very much - I'm a drama queen...
@mastermek That's two of us then...I wish others did...
July 30th, 2015  
bit of a fan of this one - yep
July 31st, 2015  
@annied Fabulous!
July 31st, 2015  
@graemestevens I am! Glad you noticed :)
July 31st, 2015  
@annied Not quite what I meant but...well, okay
July 31st, 2015  
Totally awesome in b&w!
August 1st, 2015  
@radiogirl Thank you very much :)
August 1st, 2015  
Love it! Fav! And B&W does not imply miserable! That's like saying Leonard Cohen sings miserable songs!
August 3rd, 2015  
@yrhenwr Thank you kindly :)
August 4th, 2015  
That surf is like whipped cream....so yummy!!
August 6th, 2015  
@panthora That's one way to look at it
