This image reminds me of my love for walking beaches, a thoroughly enjoyable pastime. Nice one, Alun.

The mother and child seem so intent on something on the shore that if that wave is incoming they are sure to get wet. Great capture Alun.

Nice beach shot, Alun. When was it taken? The people are dressed for cool weather. I like the reflection of the couple walking at the water's edge.

Interesting POV. You appear to be floating somewhere above the water.

One thing San Francisco and England have in common - coats and long-sleeves at the beach. Nice.

I agree with everyone... the lady and child at the waters edge... if they don't watch out they will get it... makes you wonder what happened afterwards... take care

An interesting angle. I like the diagonals of the water and textures of the beach. Great work.

Lovely placement of people in the shot, the leading lines in the surf, and the colour in the clothes of the foreground pair really make the shot stand out.

The pairs of people really make this unique - that and the fact that they are all dressed for cool weather (not something I see much in sunny Florida :) Very nicely composed.
