Thanks for the comments, Boris. This shot was the best of a batch that I took of the log. It was indeed a bleak day; it was very cold and the beach itself was not what we had expected, I guess. It was at an Audobon center and I guess I thought it would be more lively or interesting. The tide was out and everything looked kind of yucky. Maybe this shot reflects that. We were hoping for another good day of shooting (like the day before) after being mostly indoors for a couple of months. Anyway, no offense taken...I post shots here to get honest feedback on them. :) Amita
