Fingers of Regret.

Posted by Maxine (Rangiora, New Zealand) on 30 October 2008 in Landscape & Rural.

I really liked the way the tide withdrew, dragging its fingers of regret across the warming sands. The patterns and play of light all added to it nicely.

Love the 'cool' colour of this image and the patterns made by the receding water. Quite abstract.
