Challenge: Granular II (Basic Editing)
Camera: Canon EOS-350D Rebel XT
Lens: Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 USM II
Location: Daytona Beach, Florida
Date: Sep 4, 2011
Aperture: f5.6
ISO: 125
Shutter: 1/60s
Galleries: Abstract, Seascapes
Date Uploaded: Sep 6, 2011

 I took this around 6:30am when roz and I went down to the beach to shoot the sunset.

I was trying to shoot for Lens Flare (almost went blind) and thought, hmmm, Granular is coming up and here's all this sand. So I fired off a few shots at the beautiful sunrise reflections in the wet sand.

I didn't even see the foot print until I uploaded and opened this in PS.

There's my story and I'm stickin' to it.

Good score, Alicia! And it really is a lovely photo - one that grows on me more each time I view it.

I think this image would have been better with the 'dunes [lol]' closer to the foot impression in focus, and then shorten the depth of field so the background is slightly more out of focus. That would help isolate the foot impression and make the image more dramatic. insert 'in my opinion' here.

I wonder what two foot prints would have looked like, too, as if the 'spirit' was watching the sunrise.
