I went to visit my son today (he's at UC Davis, which is about 70 miles from here). On my way home, I was still trying to find that great picture to take, when I noticed that the sun was going down, and, if I hustled, I could get to the beach in time to get a sunset picture.
Of course, I didn't count on the backup at the tolls on the Bay Bridge, so, alas, when I got to Ocean Beach, the sun had finished its journey below the horizon. Dejected, I turned the car down Great Highway and started home. At a stoplight, however, I looked out at the ocean, and saw a surprising site.
The beach was still FULL of people. Many were starting to wind their way back to the parking lot, but litterally hundreds of folks were still out on the beach -- a fair number of them with dogs, still splashing around in the surf.
I hurredly parked my car, grabbed my trusty D70, and headed down the sand.
I particularly like the fact that I caught the little guy completely in mid jump. I also liked the way the shadowy reflections in the wet sand blur the line where the people end.

That is a BEAUTIFUL, FANTASTIC, GREAT shot! Sometimes you can't go looking for things, they kinda have to jump out at'cha! ;o)
I agree. This is a great shot. I too love the shadow reflections and the action of the dog. I also like the wonderful soft colors that enable this photo to become a work of art you could hang in your living room.
