This is julietnn at the northernmost beach on Cape Cod, near Race Point in the Provincelands. One of my earliest memories is of standing with my father watching my mother approach the surf line on the beach. I was scared of the waves. Of course that was a California beach and they were VERY big waves, but you gotta shoot what you've got to shoot, right? And Juliet doesn't look much like my mother either, but so it goes...

I like this. I like the composition and the colors. The colors in the water are awesome! Nice memory to have.

I like the composition and colors, but it seems a little grainy and/or noisy.

Nice capture, and framing, but the lack of sharp focus is going to hurt you a bit on this one.
