My daughter Ruth frequently runs her Golden Retriever Lily, and some of Lily’s closest friends, on the beach. As a photographer I truly didn’t expect my daughters to engage in this art, so the image came to me as a delightful surprise. Using the camera on her iPhone, Ruth did a very fine job of rendering beautiful light, texture and excellent composition. The foreground, though it appears static, has the promise of frequent change. The light distribution is gorgeous. It is complemented by a cresting wave, a flash of light on the ocean in the upper left quadrant, and the dynamism of exercising dogs and their reflections in the wet sand. I believe this is one of the finest images of a seaside scene I have encountered. It is available as a 10″x5.5″ print.
