Like the beautiful blues and the strong composition. The contrast in size between the chair and the figure is really effective.

@GJC: Thanks my friend! I usually hate cyan saturation in my photographs, but it seemed to work here in the early light. I appreciate the comment!

MadScientist from Düsseldorf, Germany

Very beautiful! Do you know C.F. Friedrich's Monk by the Sea?

@MadScientist: Ha! I just checked out the link. I am honored at the comparison!

Chris from South Jersey, United States

Great shot - I love the serenity and peace in this, and the composition and lighting is magical. Really well done......

@Chris: Thanks Chris for the wonderful comment!

Judy from Brooksville-Florida,, United States

Another sky image today - there are quite a few! I like your composition, the low angle and the 'resting' beach patrol!

@Judy: Yes, the sky was quite interesting that day with the cloud pattern and morning light. Many more from the beach to come!

The combination of elements and the light makes this a very interesting one, Tracey. The eye goes quite naturally from the structure to the small figure of the man. Love what you've come up with here.

Very peaceful and contemplative. Nice!

@Marcie: Thanks Marcie, that is the word I was looking for...contemplative!

Marion from Nanaimo, BC, Canada

Tracey what a poignant moment in time that you have captured here. Wonderful composition and the colors are so muted and inviting.

Something about this makes me think there must be a long and interesting story of how this lonely figure sits on a pre-dawn beach . . you make me want to read the book, Tracey !

@Ronnie 2¢: Thanks for the kind comment, Ronnie!

Beautifully composed, Tracey ... I love the feeling of serenity and solitude expressed by the lone figure (Brian?). That 5D really handles the high ISO brilliantly!
