Culzean Bay, Ayrshire, Scotland

Another shot from the beach with the pebbles, after sunset.    Something a bit different this time.

This shot grabbed me as I was leaving -  I saw a mysterious almost mystical quality to the the animalesque form of the seaweed leaping up towards the circle of the limpet shell; or perhaps I was just feeling sleepy!!

ISO 100 6secs f/11

Please view on black.

Cheers!

Sharp eye to pick this one out! Nice that even the eye, ears
and legs fell into place.

Fine composition and interesting patterns - the dark tones are very appealing.

Thanks Matthew!
It's nice to have something unusual once in a while, I think!

Nice one! I think the hare is leaping for the moon - the stuff of myth and mystery. Well done!

Ah yes, thanks Carol.  Can't say I'm much of a mystic personally, but a web search proved your idea!

Wow..I'd have thought this was a piece of plastic left by someone on the shore. Great graphical elements there..with subtle curves and nice diagonal placement for that weed shred. Love your interpretation too !
