A quick shout out to Gennaro (Rino63) - Grazie tanto! I've forgotten so much over the years and gets worse the longer I'm away from my family. I can already feel the long distance slap upside the head I'll get from my mum for this :)
BTW, for those who may have been wondering about the streaks in the sand - they were caused by shells.
I'm not particularly bothered by a less than stellar score for this style of photography. It's nothing new but I'm in love with the technique now, so I will continue to explore this path to see where it takes me.

Thank you so much for the x-award Christian, delighted and honoured!

I quite like this image of the bride and groom, something different. Not sure how it will do in the challenge though. Also not sure what on the beach created the white streaks, (some grass?) but I think they overpower the overall effect of what you were hoping to create.
This is clearly RinaC's entry and I am sure it'll get lot's of low votes as the sand isn't obvious.
I love the effect on the couple but I'm not that taken with the way the sand has turned out, it feels a little too "in your face" and distracts from the people a bit much.
