You might spot me at Kirra Beach, the South-Eastern end of the Gold Coast, Australia,  if you like beach walking like myself... but there is more ! My son Jeff (*jif3d*, here at Rendo, it helps to advertise, ooops)... he took this pic of me in 2000, then manipulated it in photo-shop and it's still one of my favourites. Just very briefly about my past... *born in East Prussia; *grew up in Berlin, West Germany; *migrated to "OZ" in 1960, (not the Wizard of Oz) but...AUSTRALIA ! I guess  I was more into '2D' since early childhood, and thinking that my son Jeff may have inherited some of my artistic skills, because he translated them into '3D'. I am hooked on photography, since I discovered cameras... that's it in a nutshell. BTW - one of my fav.quotes.... ** I cannot give you the formula for success, but I can give you the formula for failure - which is trying to please everybody !**                                              that's a wrap... Cheers Brigitte.

Huh ? I thought he was square ? this one seems to have lost his pants and has sprouted a side-kick, well there you go, learn something new every day ! Digging the shadows and traces of the higher tide in the sand patterns, not to mention Sponge Bob look-a-like & little buddy, Gilligan !...LOL ~Cheers~

This really is something very special, as the photo is taken in a very fine focus and way. I too love the ripples of the sand and the little holes that it makes. Fantastic colors too, so thank you for sharing, dear Brigitte. Good luck with your Internet.

'Sponge Bob' looks very cute in this lovely capture. Excellent light and shade and he looks to be having a great conversation with his little 'mate'. Amazing what you find on the beach. A great place to walk off your lunch.

alien life forms? sponge bob mutated by nuclear bomb tests? Collin watching too many japanese monster movies? (yeah, that'd be it....)... you have the coolest stuff washing up on your shores.... and another reason why you carry a camera with you at all times... serious cool capture!

The light is fabulous. Outstanding image!

So simple yet I love the shadows and the tracks in the sand created by the receding water rushing around 'Sponge Bob'. An excellent photo!

Interesting capture.

You're a lucky kid, Brigitte. We pay a lot of money for such a natural sponge and you can collect it. I've recently been thinking about you but I am so bothersome now not - (. Because of the hiccups) A hiccup can be as annoying as tinnitus and I not wish want it to anyone. Get well soon.... the sun in july wink

I'm trying to skip around, but I'm doing the very next image in line because this one jumped out at me immediately. I zoom everything, and this really comes to life in zoom: The textures of the sponges, the textures and folds in the sand, that hard bleached light and those deep shadows make this almost a sculpture, because the textures and contrasts are so strong and artistic. You got great light in this, not to mention texture. And I can tell you, for sure, that you'll NEVER see a sight like this off Lake Michigan: Nothing this big; and I don't know if sponges can live in those cold waters anyway. A beautiful solo shot of some creatures stranded on a beach. You got the feel and texture of it perfectly.
