Come on, I know you miss England ;-) This works so well in monoas it is so full of contrast

Phillip Normanton		13-Jan-2010 22:32
It's very clean and bright sand - makes a super contrasty shot :o)

Guest		13-Jan-2010 22:13
Lovely dunes , looks like snow but it won't melt! Nice photo Sheila!

Stewart Mitchell		13-Jan-2010 20:55
So you are definitely feeling some empathy for us Northern Hemisphere types, locked in winters grip!! Great comp Sheila :)

Johnny JAG		13-Jan-2010 19:26
So it's not snow then?

Cindi Smith		13-Jan-2010 19:16
Wow, does look like snow! Happy rabbits running everywhere....love the compositin and makes a strong B&W image!

Michael Shpuntov		13-Jan-2010 18:23
LOL. Why it looks to me like a snow. I can't think about anything except winter :-) Great capture.

Guest		13-Jan-2010 18:22
lovely image, really leads the eye.

Colin Storey		13-Jan-2010 18:13
I thought snow from the thumb also but then thought no way, great shot of the sands and prints in it.

Ronald Bijtenhoorn		13-Jan-2010 18:00
My first thought was that it was snow; nice strong contrast

Guest		13-Jan-2010 17:34
That image with your comments on the rabbit tracks reminded me of a movie "Rabbit Proof Fence"... disturbing but lovely film! This is great and I would have thought it was snow at first glance as that is all I see around me lately :)

Bryan Murahashi		13-Jan-2010 15:39
Gerat B&W. Looks like a Winter wonderland.

Ed McConnell		13-Jan-2010 14:17
At first glance I also thought it was snow..This is very nice Sheila, comp and DoF make this image..great job.

Guest		13-Jan-2010 14:08
looks so much like snow, I would feel at home there. :)

Stephanie		13-Jan-2010 13:11
You must have some mighty big rabbits down under - those are HUGE footprints. Love your compo and everything about this picture Sheila. Very well done!!! V

J. Scott Coile		13-Jan-2010 12:55
Excellent scene in B&W. Looks like there is an over-abundance of jack rabbits.

Karen Stuebing		13-Jan-2010 11:37
Love the monochrome effect and wonderful composition with the fence and shadow. It looks like snow. Maybe because that's all I see. :) V.

Bernard Davis		13-Jan-2010 11:14
Nice contrasty shot, like the line of the fence curving into the distance. Well composed. Voted.

Yvonne		13-Jan-2010 10:47
Great shot Sheila, can imagine how blue that sky was - or maybe still is as I post this!

Guest		13-Jan-2010 10:12
Yes..., I thought it was snow to :-) Very well composed.

lou_rozensteins		13-Jan-2010 09:39
Yes, the strong contrast makes a great picture. Hope it cools a little for you .... it's not that bad here, only very humid.

laine		13-Jan-2010 08:33
:) not homesick for snow are you !! Did you hear in Vic it was 32 overnight...hottest ever they said !! Can imagine how hot that sand is !!

Available Light Images		13-Jan-2010 07:41
Ha, this is fabulous as well. Such a cool idea, with so many snow posts going on, this is such a clever twist. well done..

Kathryn		13-Jan-2010 07:41
I thought it was snow too, great shot.

Robin Reid		13-Jan-2010 07:32
Good work.... and it is nice to know another part of the world is warm besides San Diego ;-)

Doug Cruden		13-Jan-2010 07:32
Blimey! I thought this was a snow drift :o)) I love the footsteps and the shadows, and the fence makes a lovely curved eye-line through the frame...beautifully done Sheila!

Ann...		13-Jan-2010 07:20
This looks inviting! I like the delicate shadows of the fence.
