Lone Runner

I saw this young boy this morning running on the beach to catch up with his parents. I loved the layers and the lone figure to give a sense of just how fast the Pacific Ocean looks.
Thank you soooo much for all the wonderful support this week. To have a birthday week that ends with two TT photos -- I could not be more excited and happier! What a way to sneak up on the end of my first year. It's been an amazing experience!

[Junko Y]

Beautifully composed, and the stillness of the water is almost eerie while the warmth of the colors nicely depicts the sun. Were you using a tripod? Congrats on TTx2! I'm so so so far behind in viewing and I look forward to trying to catch up sooner or later.
