Another fantastic "contact" with your work. :-)

very nice!

Wow...sand or snow? I'm assuming it's sand as I've seen tyres dumped on a beach but not up a mountain!

nice, sand looks like snow. really nice :)

I'm gonna guess that it's snow?

very nice shoot, it's a sand! (take a look at "categories: fylde coast")

nah that's sand! cool sho, seems a tad dark to me tho.

Honestly, Im not too fond of it.
It looks okay, but cerainly isnt one of you better ones.

Nice one, a tyre with such a 'contact' on it, lying on a vast area covered with snow (even if it's just a disguised seashore) has to be attractive and creates pretty mysterious atmosphere. I like it :).

It's a great shot, the colors of the background are so pleasing! Love the sand ground into the letters.

Excellent. I love how you've got the sand looking like snow. Very clever indeed.

Great composition, nice angling to really frame that word. This shot leaves a lot to the imagination. Good work.

very nice shot. great composition. the background works very well

Eerily beautiful!

Great as usual - I have just taken my last batch of photos with jpeg format - all my photos are now going to be in RAW - the quality here and on other blogs made me too curious to put it off any longer - I'm sold

Thanks for the continued inspiration!

Looks like it was taken in the Alps....

Great use of DOF on this.

no Mr. David I add to the few voices out of the chorus, I don't like it.
Cold and without soul. I say this becouse normally you bring me by hand to explore corners or details of the world we live in, giving them the gift of beauty and dignity. With your extraordinary sense of composition and the capacity to let the colours talk reaching your heart you normally exite and reassure me in the same time. But not today. I'm sure you'll do it tomorrow.
ciao, gianluca

Great DOF here.....colors are desaturated in a pleasing way...could be sand or snow!

My first though on the seeing the thumbnail was "cool, he's gone on a trip somewhere cold"

I like the snow effect on the sand; shakes up the common perception of good a beach photo a bit. The blurred figures in the back and faux peaks add to the illusion. Great stuff.

I can't believe someone is using your work on another site! I am outraged. I have left appropriate comments for them. Report this person to Flickr!

I'm interested in this shot. I took some shots on this beach when it snowed a couple of months ago: they turned out crap! Is this snow or just a much post processed image?

Looks like the stolen photos are down now. I hope YouNeverKnew got "her" account yanked.

Neat shot :) I bet NASA will be calling next time they need a space photo to promote their next 'interstellar landing.'

Nice DOF on this one. It really works for me, but I'm not sure how to articulate it. I just like the word "contact," which helps ;)

Oh, and those flickr photos seem to be gone now.

This photo makes me feel like I have had too much to drink.

For a moment I thought that one was snow...

My congratulations.

great composition, and subject , but a human element in focus would have increased the appeal

From Mars, no doubt...Dune.

Reported all 4. Nice to see that flickr is immediately responsive. (Yes?)

eery, but eye-catching

I love this, it makes me think of having just landed on another planet with the two figures in the distance hurrying frighteningly towards me. The toning is really nice and the contrast between the sharpness of the foreground and blur of the background is perfect. You must have been lying on the tire?

First I thought of an Antarctica shot but now I think sand is the right idea. Thanks for pointing to John Washington's site, it's linked now from my blog :-)

very nice and kind of funny shot :)

Wow man,
Great shot...

YOU ARE A GENIOUS!

Cheers from Palermo-Sicily

hope your have a great holiday. not your best shot in my opinion.

I really like it, nice interesting use of depth of field and the colour (or lack of) works really well, cool :-)

"My jealousy, on this occasion, borders on the clinically morbid ;-)"

rofl! Now you know how we all feel looking at your blog everyday ;)

Nice shot Dave!
I really like this shot's bokeh...

Dave, can you advice me a site where i can create my own photoblog?

Thank you... And go on this way!

mayday, mayday ...

Thanks everyone (and it's definitely sand ;-)

The contact is one of the most important things in the world.....

Very nice pictutre!
