"I must go down to the seas again, the lonely sea and the sky" (Original by John Masefield, but I'm persuing a slightly different tack - still a quote, but by a different author) C&C welcome (in fact needed) I'm looking for that wide, lonely, brooding look... I have a vague recollection of a tutorial about "low tide". Tried to implement it from memory. (My memory makes a sieve look watertight). There are a lot of things I know I have to improve, (too many abrupt transitions: "dry" sand too distinct from the "wet" sand; the "seaweed" in the water is not very believable; the foreground needs more detail), but just at the moment I'm trying to concentrate on composition, my weakest point of many. So, as I said, C&C welcome:-)) Cheers, Diolma
