Afternoon at the beach....

..in southern Portugal.

The clouds are an extreme blow up. I loved that part of the image and the digital effects of that blowup make it look pretty cool.

Very nice work, Charles. I love that lonely seashell's journey the most.

Thanks as usual. Obviously, took many shots. Debated whether to show a tumbling wave (active) but I thought the restive one keeps in line with the calmness of the rest of the photo.

Lovely work Charles, whereabouts in Portugal - Algarve? We'll be spending a month there later this year.

Like PG, I especially enjoy the beach scene. There is a great balance between sand & ocean, and a sense that the incoming wave will sculpt even more around that solitary shell.

Thanks. Yup. This was taken in Lagos. (Make sure you pronounce it lay-goh-sh.! :-) It's my favorite place in the Algarve.

First time

First time this young lady posed and worked in studio. Just finished her Masters degree and is now pursuing her PhD.

Austin, Texas Blue Hour

Was down in Austin for a bit on a work trip. I've always heard how beautiful the skyline is from the river.

Was a little let down by the clouds, but what can I do!
