 This was taken during the five minutes I was on the beach during my FL visit - the weather was extremely windy and not-so-warm.

I really wish I could show this in a larger version. It's an image that I am particularly fond of. I processed it with a wee bit of Fractalius, as you might see.

First impression, the guy is in some kind of contraption with a sail to catch the wind and wheels to transport him along the beach...I see why you love this image!

The lens baby is really effective here. There is enough clarity to give the info needed to know what the image is, and the blur is perfect for the negative space.

Looks like a cold and lonely job. I do like the high key b&w processing.

Great example of minimalism and high contrast. There is just enough for us to know exactly what's going on. I'm sure I've told you what a sucker I am for lifeguard stands. Dad was on at Huntington Beach in CA back in the day, so I get all nostalgic when I see them. This is a GREAT image.

With a very light touch, I can see a bit in the sand. Lovely shot, so lonely! Just a man and his bird. ROFL! That didn't sound right. Anyway, it truely is so very pretty!
