Some days, when the sun was finally disappearing, and the breeze blew just so, and the waves gently crashed upon the shore, some days he would appear.

Only for a moment, always silent, never seeming to understand that he was there, that he existed, or that there was anything or anyone there but himself and the sea.

He had disappeared so many years before. He had gone for a stroll, as he had every day, along his favorite stretch of beach. He had said goodbye, and put on his hat, and had never come home again.

Now, should you find yourself there, when the end of the day was just so, he would appear. He would stand there and stare out over the sea, and as the last of the golden light would turn to the deep azure of the twilight, he would fade.

If you listened very carefully, perhaps, you would hear what could be a soft and almost silent sigh go out across the water as the form disappeared, and your heart would open and your soul would weep, and you would never forget that encounter.

Lovely capture of the waves and water texture. There appears to be a ghost on the left of the frame (and a body part on the horizin :))

Overall good but I feel the bluriness of the figures lets it down

Nice. The blurred figure adds something. Mystery maybe.

nice tones...wish the person stood still long enough for him not to be so blurry

The purple and gold combination is one of my favorites. The shadows of the couple on the beach work really well for me. Probably even better that if they were full silhoutetes, it really adds to the soft, thoughtful feeling the picture has.

I like the simplicity of this shot. The "shadow" adds to the composition.
