Nice use of reduced saturation and selective focus to pull the eye in. The wide aspect ratio also helps prolong the eye's journey, enhancing the interest.
Thank you. It didn't turn out exactly as I wanted, but the sand was blowing so strongly on the beach, and into me and my gear I fled. I'll return on a stiller evening and revisit the marbles for Mirrors, I think.
One of the things that makes this work for me is how the slope allowed you to get the zone of focus in the sand to follow the diagonal line of marbles. I enjoy watching how focus here affects the look of things at different scales -- sand texture, specular highlights, and marbles -- and the sloping plane of focus binds it all together very nicely!
Thank you Ken Fowkes for your detailed comments, that's very good to know. Thank you - I've often wondered Lisa s , how many challenges we could fit into one photo. Thank you Navin Upendran , I took some trouble with it but the wind chased me away and the stinging sand too! Piotr Edelman thanks! Thank you Mary Wardell I'm glad it caught your gaze!
Very striking and well shot. Rob Masters is absolutely right about the eyes journey through the image. It's such a great capture that the eye doesn't want to stray outside the frame.
