@dj.tigersprout: Thanks dj!

sherri from Little Rock, Arkansas, United States

Very strange looking footprints. Have I mentioned I need a trip to the beach?

14 Aug 2008 5:49am

@sherri: I know! The sand was so soft that when you walked, your whole foot would sink and your toes would make claw-like marks in the sand! Weird, huh?

MadScientist from Düsseldorf, Germany

Perfect! Would make for a great poster!

@MadScientist: Thanks MS! If I loved the beach, I would print it and hang it. But truth be told, I am not a beach fan. Other than the sunrises that is!

Lorraine from Gatineau, Canada

Oh Tracey, this is so fabulously moody, I love it, and I'll run the distance, no wait, I won't I'll stop and take photos instead ;)

@Lorraine: Stop and take photos, Lorraine! Stop and take photos. No running!

Judy from Brooksville-Florida,, United States

Footprints of what? A horse? A large dog? Whatever it was, I like your vertical composition.

@Judy: What, Judy? You don't like my alien footprints? :0) Just kidding. For explanation, see my reply above!

Viewfinder from Bradenton, United States

Really a nice shot. I often like to see footprints in the sand, and wonder where they were going or coming from.

@Viewfinder: Oh, you are a wonderer like me! I do the same thing!

bluechameleon from Vancouver, Canada

What a moody feel you have created Tracey...I love this and felt compelled to give it 5 stars :)

@bluechameleon: *sigh of relief* I was worried you would not like it! Thanks so much!

Chris from South Jersey, United States

Very different with the processing and lack of contrast in the distance. It is also interesting that there are a few people on the beach that early (don't people sleep?!). A very moody image - well done....

Michael Skorulski from Cigel, Slovakia

Great idea, Tracey. This makes for a nice perspective and very interesting image.

Graham Russon from Cape Town, South Africa

Great shot, like the composition and how the eye follows the footprints up the beach.

Badlydrawnboy from United States

From where have I come? Where am I going? The tide washes away all evidence, and indeed, this too shall pass.

Wonderfully allegorical and thought-provoking.

Marion from Nanaimo, BC, Canada

Such a lonely image. Love it in b&w. It is very thought provoking. It reminds me just a little of the poem "Footprints In The Sand." Well done Tracey.

Observing from West Cheshire, United Kingdom

Excellent B&W, and the footprints are magic.

Sandrine from Cincinnati, United States

Great b&w, love the perspective...

Andrew Gould from Sydney, Australia

This whole beach series is great, Tracey. You've kept well away from the usual stereotypes of this genre. Love the point of view, the light and the processing.

Love the post-processing, tones are great!
