I took this in Daytona Beach on my last day there. September 4. When I got home the next day, my beloved cat got sick and now she's dying. This image is a memory when I thought everything was still right.

Thank all for the wonderful comments and the two favs. It is encouraging to me as a photographer when some viewers see what I wanted to convey. I'm proud of my "commenters score"! :o)

Is this the same stretch of beach that you took the three friends?
For me when I see someone walking like this, it reminds me of the feeling of being alone in a world full of people. A bit sad, but content as well. Very nice.
I like that Paul selected one of your own images against which to spotlight this. Way cool! And I still love it, even if they are seagulls and not pigeons. :-)
beautiful alicia .. it really should'v got much more than 5.5 .. i've looked at this image for some time and i love it . it has a lovely whimsical quality . .:)
ps . i hope your phoenix and cosima are ok ?..:)
He seems so purposeful compared to everyone else. Not that he's in a business suit or anything, but something about his pose says he's on his way to do something specific, while everyone else seems to be lazing about as people on vacation at the beach tend to do. Love the pastels in the sand and water and sky ... really painterly look, but not so far from a photograph as to seem overprocessed. I like this a lot.
For some reason that I can't quite figure out, I really like this shot. There's something a bit unusual about it, but at the same time familiar. I find my eyes wandering around the shot for a while and coming back to the man in red and the two birds in the foreground. There's nothing outstanding here, yet I've been sitting staring at this for about 2 minutes now, very odd!
OK, I'm going through the Free Study submissions, purposefully finding those images I think are shot with a less conventional eye - this is one of those images! Thanks for offering something that isn't just DPC friendly eye-candy (though of course there's nothing wrong with eye-candy). I'll be picking one of these images for my Mu (most underrated) award:
Positives: Sometimes while making comments in this series I include an image that has wider appeal - this is one of those images. It's the light that catches my eye here - I've seen it before in some images - here:
