Tish, I really like this. The background is so spare, which showcases the person perfectly. Yet there’s not too much detail on her, either. I know I’m not expressing this very well, but I think it’s excellent.

I think you put it very well, Janet. Thank you 🙂
Beautiful photo.
Thank you, Bumba
I like the brightness and the big shadow, nice photo.
Thank you.
It is a very lonely and emotive shot, really well captured it made me look closer. Great shot for the theme.
Thank you, Jo. It was only a chance shot, but was struck by Sarah’s stance as she headed for the sea. It actually made me think of John Fowles French Lieutanant’s Woman.
That’s a terrific photo – very evocative and powerful.
Thanks. Suzanne.
Full of contrasts: hood and hobnail boots on the beach, the brightness of the morning sun and the secret garb seeking privacy, mourning. A purposeful walk with nowhere to go.The shadow cutting through the sand like a knife, and no footprints, macabre. I love too the alliteration in the title which speaks of none of this. Unnerving foreign and innocent yet haunting and questioning.
What’s picture, what a photograph…
That’s a fantastic take on this photo, Tony. I had noticed the elements you mention, but not put them together into words like this. This is what I love about wordpress, one person’s creativity, sparking some one else’s – in one big, joyous multiplier effect. Now when I look at the photo, I will also see your vision of it.
Wow that’s high praise from you Tish. You will know how the image took my breath away. Stunning. You are very good.
What a, not what’s
Great photo here, Tish. I love the split composition here between sea and sky. Reminds me a little bit of a field I walked through in France last summer.
Thanks, Nathan. I like your dark French field too.
A great picture and a timeless, pensive mood.
French Lieutenants Woman 🙂
I love your hazy header shot these days, too, Tish.
Thanks, Jo. And yes, definitely French Lieutenant’s Woman 🙂
Lovely capture – nicely done.
Thanks, Tina, and lovely to hear from you again.
This is what my son would call “clean” – a photo with clean lines and few colours. Great.
Thanks, Leya. I like that way of putting it – ‘clean’.
Love this! It has so many nuances, beyond the colors.
great picture.
Thank you very much, Robert.
Intriguing figure!
