A day at the seaside

Beautiful capture!

Which is the most important here? The layered landscape or the people?

Thanks for the visit my friend.

Cheers, Herb

Excellent shot Herb, a real good sense of depth to the image with all those people at various distances from the camera.

Hi Maurice, yes, I could see right away that the figures gave this a simple charm. As Toz says, below, a little Lowry maybe.

Cheers, Herb

It does look rather cold. Ah, well autumn weather!

Hi again Eva. Yes, the weather got progressively colder on this trip but the lighting was adorable as well as the figures here.

Regards, Herb

Herb a shot that has a great field of view across the WHOLE frame. The crop is just perfect ( looks like one).

Thanks Steve, As always, I value your thoughts here. As Toz says below, reminiscent of 'At the Seaside By L.S.Lowry' perhaps. As you know correct crops are important to me.

Cheers, Herb

Very beauriful, Herb ! Like this composition very much !

Thanks once again my friend. The composition here is paramount, as usual!

Cheers, Herb

Looks like a lowry Herb nice image.
Regards TOZ.

Thanks for this Toz. When I saw this and my other taken images of the same, I had thought of Lowry's paintings too. Not quite enough figures maybe and looking the wrong way perhaps but there are, as you say, similarities. Cheers my friend. Herb

Excellent composition and subtle tones!

Thanks Marta. Yes the toes are nice here, I think too.

Best Wishes, Herb

Well seen and composed, though it looks as if they're wandering more or less at random.

Nothing random about trying to look cosy on a cold wind-swept beach George. I know what you mean though and must admit that you are right about that. Glad you liked it. ~ Herb

Interesting and I like this style of photograph, distant figures in action or just standing.

Thanks Colin. With this light they had a certain charm about them in this scene I thought. Good that you enjoyed it too. ~ Herb

Beautiful, Herb.To me it has something from the installation Another Place from Antony Gormley, now on Crosby Beach near Liverpool, that I saw in Sola, Norway and loved so much.

Hi Danny - I have walked through by the statues in Crosby beach and indeed took a lot of photos (posted in Panoramio) and so I know exactly what you mean. When I saw this scene through my viewfinder I knew it reminded me of something but I could not think what. So you, having reminded me now of that piece of art by Antony Gormley has placed it perfectly. My thinks for that alone. - Great that you enjoyed this and it brought back memories of Norway for you.
Best Wishes, Herb

Superb and well composed image Herb

Thanks Roger anther entry into you group with this. My thanks for allowing me to share. ~ Herb

Interesting photograph, Herb, I like how you framed it and how the tire tracks force the composition and make this scene more interesting.

Thanks Frank. Yes like you I thought the tyre tracks where a vital piece of the jigsaw here. Very happy that you liked it.

Regards, Herb

This made me smile Herb! I remember a day on Charmouth beach when we could hardly see a foot in front of us....and it was summer ;-)) Regards, Rosa.

Good to see you here Rosa. I know what you mean. I have visited a few beaches where visibility was down somewhat with either lashing rain or thick mist.

Best Wishes, Herb

What a great and authentic shot!
