I didn't do anything to get rid of prints, they just did not appear on the photo. I guess it's probably a combination of the angle, the reflection and the wet sand. |

I was so happy to see this on the front page as I was born in Zimbabwe and lived a large part of my life in South Africa. If this is taken from Bloubos strand across the bay from Table Mountain it is where my father's ashes were scattered when he passed away in September last year. It is truly a beautiful area and he loved to sit on a bench with the view every Sunday and read the newspaper.
This is truly a beautiful photo well done. |

congrats on your ribbon!
on post processing i think it would look more realistic if you could have aligned the shadow of the man to the source of light (i am comparing this on the shadows casted by the fishing pens).
great poster. |
