Here's one of John taken on our recent trip to Fleetwood.
Update: my apologies for not posting for a few days, but the run up to Christmas has been rather hectic and I haven't had time to get my camera out of its bag, let alone take any photographs. Anyway, all being well I'll be back to the image-a-day thing fairly shortly, but in the meanwhile I hope you have a great time over Christmas and the New Year :-)
Update #2: it's ages since I posted anything, and I don't have anything to post now (having been struck down by a festive cold/cough of epic proportions), but I just wanted to wish you all a happy New Year. Have a good one :-)

This is a beautiful shot, from the colors to the silhouette. Very well done.

Even John's inclusion does not detract from this lovely image! What were the dots dead centre of the image? Was somebody flying something? All the best. Mal

As always, a beautiful shot David. I love the reflections in the sand.
comment bymoodaholic at 11:12 PM (GMT) on 21 December, 2006
The recent photos are some the best you have put up lately. Good gold color.
comment byROB at 12:57 AM (GMT) on 22 December, 2006
Wonderful light. Its no wonder this time of the day is called the golden hour. The rippled reflection in the wet sand I think is my fav bit...but overall a really pleasing image.
comment byJohn at 01:12 AM (GMT) on 22 December, 2006
Great color and marvelous reflection in the sand.
comment byAnnika at 01:23 AM (GMT) on 22 December, 2006
I second moodaholics opinion. The magic is back. I love the last five days.
comment byRichard Houtby at 03:37 AM (GMT) on 22 December, 2006
I like this shot. Almost a duotone of goldish goodness.
comment by Freddy at 04:18 AM (GMT) on 22 December, 2006
I'm with Modaholic & Annika. The last five days have been my favourite shots in a while. They're brimming with life, movement and depth.
comment byToxic Lens at 07:30 AM (GMT) on 22 December, 2006
Sweet...
Haha, I guess I won't be the first to say that I've loved the last few shots. You're doing something right ;)
comment byP.J. at 07:34 AM (GMT) on 22 December, 2006
Gorgeous! Beautiful colors!
comment by Jennifer at 08:38 AM (GMT) on 22 December, 2006
Wonderful
comment byriesenriel at 08:57 AM (GMT) on 22 December, 2006
Like the atmosphere of being at the beach. Excellent tones and reflections.
comment byZishaan at 09:09 AM (GMT) on 22 December, 2006
Nice shot
comment byPlasticTV at 09:14 AM (GMT) on 22 December, 2006
You have always managed to make simple compositions look good. Seems a simple task but jeez it's hard.
comment bySimon C at 09:20 AM (GMT) on 22 December, 2006
Great shot of the photographer in action. Strong silhouette and tasteful colour.
comment byJamey at 12:34 PM (GMT) on 22 December, 2006
Lol @ Mal's comment. Solid composition here, which I like most.
comment by Richard Trim at 01:05 PM (GMT) on 22 December, 2006
Now Dave ... this is seriously good ... wonderful light... The simple shot (ha ha ) always achieves.
Thanks for so many inspirational pictures since I first came to your site about 8 months ago...

i wish i were him... near the sea at the sunset... ;)
comment byBen at 01:43 PM (GMT) on 23 December, 2006
The duotone nature of the photograph makes is all the more appealing.
comment byJelb at 01:45 PM (GMT) on 23 December, 2006
Bonjour,
Beautiful ! Very nice shot!..Merry Christmas!
comment byPsychodudu at 01:19 AM (GMT) on 24 December, 2006
Am I the only one who thinks you blew the highlights slightly on the sea? Ah well, I am a newbie after all, so I should just keep me mush shut.
What I really wanted to do was wish you and all your beautiful family (including work in progress) a Happy Xmas, and a most wonderful new year. I do hope all your projects for next year work out.
comment by bjorn at 12:10 PM (GMT) on 24 December, 2006
you seem to be repeating yourself a little, maybe some totally different shots (and a little less p.processing) for a change ?? Technically good work though.
comment byC2photo at 05:33 PM (GMT) on 24 December, 2006
Excellent shot. Keep it up.
Have a great holiday!
comment byLemski at 12:42 AM (GMT) on 26 December, 2006

comment byRonnie at 06:30 PM (GMT) on 26 December, 2006
Ah Dave, Great shot!
Love the reflections and the colours.
Wonder what John was shooting at that time...
Have a nice Christmas and a Healthy 2007!
comment byJoey at 05:02 AM (GMT) on 27 December, 2006
Great composition & lighting. But I'm glad that ain't my Nikon in the middle of all that water. Woops.. splash.
comment by kate at 04:09 AM (GMT) on 28 December, 2006
so this is how the expression "golden envelope of light" got its inspiration... ;)
comment byDutch PhotoDay at 11:13 AM (GMT) on 28 December, 2006
The colours and reflection are great! We wish you a very happy and photogenic 2007!
