One wonders what to make of the umbrella. Then one figures it's not snow, it's sand. Even so, the umbrella just planted there is intriguing. Interesting shot!
Similar location and tone to mine :-) This is truly wonderful. I LOVE the sky reflected on the damp sand, and the incongruity of a folded umbrella staking its claim on the deserted beach. The man ignoring it is just perfect.
I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.
Positives: I really like this, it jumped right out at me - the coloration, the smoothness of the sand, the dark blacks, the coloration. All of the above pushes my buttons.
