For us all, but we're still standing!!! Wonderful!!!

Artist Reply: Thank you Mary. Yes, despite missing a board or two, I'm going to hang in there through the winter. Wish I could find this bench again, this time with snow on it. Thanks for stopping by to take a look.

I really like the rendering on this shot - the colour is just perfect and so is the light and crisp detail!

Artist Reply: Thank you Wia. I wasn't going to post it as a black & white image, but was pleased to see what a little toning could do. I appreciate your comments.

nice shot Mike

Artist Reply: Thank you very much, Steve. I've tried several versions of this shot (b&w, color, special effects, etc.), but find the toned version is the most effective. Thanks for stopping by to take a look.

Excellent photo with such great beautiful sepia tones !

Artist Reply: Thank you very much. I'm (pleasantly) surprised at how toning improves so many black & white images. Anything with wood and/or sand especially. Glad you like it.

this really communicates a "mood" great work! :-)

Artist Reply: Thank you very much, Rebecca. Yes, I really like the moods you feel at the beach after the "season" is over. Glad you like it.
