Beach Abstract

We went to Skeggy for a day trip and a 10 mile walk.

This is me trying to be creative, patterns and shapes in the wet sand, lit by low light and sun.

Not too sure if it works.

I like the soft curves and the overall diagonal movement. It is low key but the texture is wonderful. A fabulous abstract!

[Lesley]

It took me a second to work it out but now I have I think it’s superb.

@tinley23 thanks Lesley , shot from the pier looking down , so it's not a close up

@corinnec yes the dark key surprised me , as it looks a. little darker than I thought when editing

[Corinne C]

@phil_howcroft I think the low key is a nice feature

[Kerry McCarthy]

Nice textures and lines. I especially like the foot and paw prints!

[Phil Howcroft]

@mccarth1 thank you so much , yes I notices the paws :)

[Judith Johnson]

I think it's very interesting and very abstract! Isn't this a bit out of your comfort zone Phil?

[Allison Williams]

That is quite remarkable. I never would have guessed a sand figure. It looks like an engraving or something equally permanent.

[Mags]

Lovely shapes!

[Carole Sandford]

It look great on black!

[Beryl Lloyd]

Great abstract - it is amazing what each person will interpret an abstract differently - , before the title - I thought this to be strands of wet hair !

[LManning (Laura)]

It works for me Phil. Wonderful sinuous lines.

[Rob Z]

I think it has worked nicely - the variation in lighting is very effective.

[jackie edwards]

works well as an abstract

[Issi Bannerman]

Beautiful wet beach shot. Especially on black.

Skeggy! I went there with hubby when he was just my boyfriend over 30 years ago. The wind was so strong the sand tore the skin off my legs! Nature's exfoliant LOL. Not certain this quite works either but can't think why......maybe needs more highlight to bring out the contrast.....but I do always love the textures on wet sand like this.

[Dione Giorgio]

It works perfectly, Phil, and I love it. Fav. It's sunny again today and the garden is o.k. We get hail storms every now and then, not often though, and they only last for short periods. For many of us its fun to see because we never have snow.

i like it

[KWind]

Nice textures!!

[bkb in the city]

Great capture

[Philippa R]

The texture is wonderful, I thought it was a rock formation, beautiful.

Thanks everyone for the positive words of support on my 'off topic' genre photo (for me anyway).

@casablanca thanks Casa' , "bracing Skegness" was once used as a marketing slogan for the resort !!! I cannot 'see' abstract , it's a genre I struggle with

[Renee Salamon]

I like it

[FBailey]

And it works!

[Boxplayer]

Think it works fine, very appealing patterns
