About THE SEASHORE

Take me away to the seashore
Where I can just sit and dream
And feel the strength of the ocean
As the soft mist washes me clean.
Sounds of the waves hypnotize me
The rhythm soothes all my cares
There is no place on earth more refreshing
Than here, breathing in the salt air.

Where the light house plays host to the seagulls
And offers its welcoming beam
Inviting those weary from life's struggles
To stop..and take time to dream.

Hi Shirley - Lovely colours and smooth tones on the waves and sky with the beacon very well positioned. The blurred area in the left corner is just one aspect that distracts the eye and draws it away from the real scene. If it could be more sharply defined it could play a role in balancing out the rocks in the distance but as it is, for me it is spoiling what could be a marvelous image. Kind regards and thanks for your support!

Beautiful . . . shades of lavender . . . the color that has oft been associated with refinement, grace and elegance . . . and the creative work here seems to back that up rather well. Lavender is the feminine, grown up version of pink, and the softness of the image does accent that as well. Nicely done.

Regards,
Doyle I <~~~~~

Nice tones and excellent shot dear Shirley...You must have made it over Cascade Head...recently or maybe in the past(?) I did make a quick trip to Salem just over-night to get my car worked on...It's still not fixed yet but I do have a loaner so will have to return at some point soon...not sure when this will happen and it's my work week just begining ....hmmm
Regardless a beautiful image and just the way it looks at times, also like your 'about'
Excellent ! 7/7

Exquisite composition and execution of a breath taking moment! This photo is the personification of your poem.
How easy it would be to project one's self into this scene and spend hours in that dream world. What a wonderful experience you have shared with us Shirley.

Beautiful dreamy colours Shirley!
The composition of this is just perfect, absoloutley love that the lighthouse has it's light on.
Makes me feel like I have spent a beautiful day at the beach, and now, as the chill sets in, it is time to head home.
MMMM like a dream...
cheers...B
