Desirae at Pink Sky Designs
The light in this photo blows me away and the softness added by the texture contrasts with the drama of the silhouette to make an amazing photo. Thank you for sharing Desirae!
The perspective, the depth of field and the soft color all create a beautiful and nostalgic photo. Lovely, just lovely! Thank you for sharing with us.

This weekend I went to the Cranberry Coast and the Long Beach Peninsula. One of the places we stopped was at Grayland State Park. It is a campground with these huts you can stay in and a vast beach. I snapped some pictures, explored a bit and on the way back was rewarded with a "conversation" with some deer I plan on sharing later this week. My goal with the photo below was to capture the vastness of the beach and ocean and the lack of people on the beach the result of the coast in winter. I did a clean edit in Lightroom for the first photo and then a black and white conversion. I think the first photo works well to communicate the vastness and the black and white the emptiness. What do you think?
