nicely done – for some constructive criticism – In my opinion, if you’d crop that first image down to just the “waves” in the sand it would be a much stronger image! More or less cut that image in half and let me know what you think! 🙂

These are great. I especially love the red crab and trap. It’s almost abstract.

Hi Jane, I love that little crab, too. Funny, I was shooting the trap, enjoying the shadows and reflections and suddenly his claws popped up like he was defending himself– hadn’t seen him! He is about the size of a silver dollar. Very colorful fellow. Thanks so much!

Lines and Sand is great. The gradual change from dark to light as the eyes move from bottom to top makes the photo very visually appealing. Tidal Impressions is really good too. If the wave was a bit closer to the top third line that would be really cool.
