So.... in the past two challenges, Orange and the Free Study, I really really did try to enter photographs I thought would, in general, please the voters. But the voters were not wow'd.
And they won't be thrilled with this one either, but at least I know that going in.
Some day my photography will improve! It will please you, the voter! Or not. :-) Definitely not this week. (And I do need to work on the really tiny apertures/focal distance thing so when I do odd wide like this, I can get clouds in focus.)
From a folder called "Midday beach". I spotted this poor lonely tennis ball on the way across the beach, shot it once or twice, then the tide came in as I was heading back and it was even more pathetic all wet and scraggly. I figured some dog got distracted and forgot all about the ball, and now it waits for the dog to come back...
Maybe the more abstractish version?
Nah, didn't think so. :-)

Love the sand and water ripples, I think if voters read the title they would have understood better. Meh what can you do? I hope you submit something to the Zen challenge too!
very good shot Deb! Love the reflected clouds, and the B&W (Is this the famed Silverefex? I want one!) ...it does not address the theme in an obvious way (say, without the title), I guess that's the explanation for the relatively low score.
