Give Yourself to the Sea

Alternative Title: I'm just popping out for walk, don't know when I'll be back.
Best on black. Shock horror.

[Simply Amanda]

Sicko.

[Tracie Broadhead]

fabulous!

[Graeme Stevens]

@amandal That's how I roll ;)
@tracie8266 Thank you very much :)

[Elizabeth]

Dramatic sky!

[Graeme Stevens]

@redy4et Thank you very much :)

[Maggiemae]

Is he going or coming! Send out the lifeguards! Amazing black sky and white waves!

[Erika]

Great title, fantastic shot. Good thing it's not "Goodbye cruel world."

[Annie D]

that's what it's all about!

[Graeme Stevens]

@annied So they keep saying but there are things in there that eat you...unless you're in the Amazon, and then they just swim right up you.
@epcello Thank you very much - by the way he was walking I don't think he was too keen on being in there anyway!
@maggiemae He was on his way out - and thank you :)

[Annie D]

@graemestevens I keep telling you they do not eat you - they just take a bite to check if you are a food source then move on

[Graeme Stevens]

@annied Having been tasted before I can reliably inform you that I am indeed edible and will therefore be staying out of the water.

[Annie D]

@graemestevens hahahahahahaha - a shark would spit you out!

[Annie D]

@graemestevens after it bit it off LOL

[Graeme Stevens]

@annied I don't understand...bit what off?

[Debs Stott]

That single person is a great focal point and really gives scale to vastness of the ocean.

[Annie D]

@graemestevens oh you know exactly what bit was bit hahahahahaha

[Graeme Stevens]

@dibzgreasley Thanks very much - it's not actually that vast, he was only little ;)
@annied Must be a bloody big shark then

[Annie D]

@graemestevens 'twas a Port Jackson - i little fella :)

[Mek]

It's a selfie is it...

[Yao RL]

So not just the dog who is brave, I wonder if you have persuaded him to come back

[Graeme Stevens]

@mastermek Not this time...I took advantage of a perfectly innocent victims desire to go for a swim...
@yaorenliu Will we ever know?

[Annie D]

@graemestevens hahahahahaha so no comment?

[Kane Arlow]

Great shot. Perhaps he is going to walk to the mainland :)

[Graeme Stevens]

@karlow75 Oi. Steady on there.
@annied I didn't even see your last one...I imagine the shark thought the same.

[sally agnew]

Lots of drama in the sky, fab image :)

[Annie D]

@graemestevens hmmm I am thinking about what you are meaning by that ........

[Graeme Stevens]

@hermann Thank you very much :)
@annied Yeah, I'm not sure either

[Graeme Stevens]

@blueberry1222 I would think so - he didn't go much further in though

[john morley]

Excellent. your beach shots would make a great coffee table photo book, a photo book with black surrounds of course....

Excellent composition and framing.
