a great shot with lots of 'nothing'- thats a really good thing in my book! My dad used to spend hours windsurfing at West Kirby- brings back some memories.

Great panoramic, and a great place too. The gull exiting the scene nicely.

@Observing: Thank you lovely boy
@Anthony: And for though's of you wandering what MMFS stands for it's MILES AND MILES OF F***ING SAND. Its an army thing.
Kris from Middlesbrough, United Kingdom
Doesn't get much more expansive than that. The single Gull really gives a sense of isolation. Great Stuff.

Expanse -- the first word that came to mind when I saw this one. You did a great job.

You caught the immensity of the sea and the sky. Well done!

Really like the composition, where flatness is emphasized. Thus far, a good shot. But then you captured the bird, too, and wouldn't the composition be so much the poorer without it? Well done.

I like the fact that we don't see exactly the separation between the sea and the beach. The depht is great as we go to the horizon and then the clouds.

Alun, this is so beautiful. Your angle for taking this picture is exceptional and the composition is just great.

I love the balance between the rocks, clouds, and bird, and the slight reflection of the cloud too! Very serene.
