After the recent storm in the Netherlands, this is what the beach looked like yesterday. No walking barefoot for me...

In time it will make some perfect fine sand... :-)

Thank you for your comments!

I guess that will take quite a while... :)

Thank you, Armando! To be honest I liked the idea in my head more than the result I got in the end. But I guess that can happen sometimes.

A different perspective of a beach, and it certainly does not invite to go barefoot :)

Great effect. If you lose the lower 8 to 10% it will even be better.
You are out there. You and your camera. You can shoot or not shoot as you please. Discover the world, Your world. Show it to us. Or we might never see it.

Thanks Frank, I will try another crop tonight. (And probably post again.)

Wow, this forum is great. Sooo helpful.

Yes, more focus indeed.  One can even think of a 'portrait' version  with the two mysterious strangers on the left.

Thank you, John. I'd never have thought about a portrait version, I'll give it a try!

Of course you should see it yourself and like it. OutOfFocus Front does work only in very rare cases

Yes, I like it. :) The original version was an intentional crop too, though.
