I like these kinds of shots and you've done this well. There is something beautiful in seeing the graphics and the soft light. Nice work.

@GJC: Thanks GJC! I appreciate the comment!

Great feeling in this shot - you can almost feel that pre-dawn quiet and the anticipation of a day at the beach.....

@Chris: It was very quiet. I had never been on the boardwalk before dawn before and there is a strange eeriness to it. Besides a few walkers and one kite flier, there was not much happening!

This is a great capture, Tracey, before things get going for the day!

What were you doing up so early, or was it so late?? What a wonderful picture. There is a lovely quietness about this scene. Love it.

@Marion: I know, crazy for me to be up this early, right? I am a sleeper, but the friends we were staying with at the beach offered to stay with the kids so Brian and I could head out at 5 A.M. to watch the sun rise. I had never done that before and I was excited about being able to photograph the experience!

Great early shot... you must live near to the beach, and how is the climate, is it warm at that hour...?

A fantastic shot, full of promise and mystery. I love the boardwalk as it fades into the distance; am wondering about the person walking along at that time of early morning/night. Must be a story to tell.

Great atmosphere here, Tracey. I really like the exposure and the deep shadows. For a moment, I almost thought that it was my Brighton Beach at night.
