   My favorite times of day are sunset and sunrise, and you have captured a great sunrise. The driftwood arrow begs us to look out to sea and to SEE–I’m glad you saw. Thanks for sharing a great photo.

   I remember being taken to Walton as a kid with my family. Brings back some nice memories. Great shot, very evocative. Well done

   This is a very communicative photo, it is not a shot it is an expression, a feeling that transmits energy. Very nice long exposure and use of lighting especially in the background and the tree resting on the sand is just perfect so clear and detailed.

   This photograph is fantastic! It feels very serene. The waves give a gentle feel to this picture. The smooth wood is also very “zen”

   Very nice composition, colors and texture of the sky and the driftwood go along very well.

    Heavenly sky & sea. The piece of driftwood gives it reality.

    Thank you all for your kind comments.

    I remember being a little disappointed the morning I took this, as the sunrise wasn’t that great, but this has become one my personal favourites.

    Wow, it seems like you can just step in it and stand on that beach.
