Very cool, Bill. I can’t tell if that’s all sand or if there’s some stone in there as well, but it has very neat forms. I’m a big sucker for “organic” curves and this image is beautiful example.

Even cooler than the original – and the cooler toning emphasizes that!! Captured in the perfect soft light. No nits!

I like this one, as well. The cooler color scheme is very nice. It looks a tad bright to me, though. I love all the neat textures. Well done!

Nice seeing, Bill! I enjoy the textures in the rocks. Personally I am a bit more of a realist and when I rotate 90° CW, I start to see mountain range landscape from afar, representing the peaks and valleys and erosion over time.

I really like some of these rocky features at Shore Acres, and fully plan to return there to play more with that aspect. So many people focus on the big waves, and miss just how cool the geology is!

This one works very well for me Bill, and I like the WB shift. After reading @HarveyAbernathey’s comment about rotation, I played with that. It’s amazing how it changes character in different rotations!
