Running reflection

When pursuing the last post content, I didn't want the final picture to be too cluttered but wanted the runner to be the point of the scene. The second picture, whilst having a more interesting sea, was felt to have the runner in the wrong position in the frame.

The choice was made of the first picture, with the bystander taken out, and then cropped to give a more spacial feel to the beach. Nothing else was done to it.


I love the way the runner seems to be in motion, with neither foot planted firmly on the ground, and with the footstep firmly imprinted in the wet sand behind.

I think the picture creates a mystery. Why are they running in such a peaceful scene, or do we not really perceive the threat that may be coming in with sea?
