1. Nice composition! 🙂

   1. thanks, Richard.

2. I like that very much John. Smashing composition and well spotted. I’m not sure I’d have seen this picture. I must start taking note of the more intimate landscape. 🙂

   1. Thanks for such warm words, Adrian. We all try to reduce the amount of pictures we miss everyday–of which there’s likely quite a few. 🙂

3. That is a big clam! About 3-4 inches perhaps, judging by the gull foot prints? Were both clam valves still attached? I am thinking the clam was heavy, perhaps full of water and thus caused the sand erosion pattern, which is kind of unusual and very dramatic in this picture. It’s a superb picture I think.

   1. Thanks David.

      I’m pretty sure it was a half shell–albeit a large one. I generally photograph close-ups like this during the first moments of daylight (or at the end of the day). Light coming in at such a low angle tends to amplify patterns and textures.

4. There’s so much history going on in this image, and it’s such a great composition. It has a kind of natural authority to it. Great.

   1. Thanks for such an adroit comment, Richard. Your insight into the various ways photographs convey information is an inspiration.

5. I love this picture! Wonderful composition

   1. Much appreciated, Anette. I love composing images close-up like this. It can feel like making music.

6. I like the simplicity of this. At the same time the composition, and content, is extraordinary.

   1. thanks, Bente.

7. Très belle image. Traces in the sand. A stop in a cosy nook. A lovely intimate vision of all one can see on a beach.

   1. Thanks very much Isa. Thoughtful comment.

8. I love this picture. The print in the sand gives the clam movement, as though clam and gul have crossed paths, both in their element in nature. There’s a solid and correct feeling to this image; its just-so.

   1. Thanks for such a thoughtful look…much appreciated.
