Mary Alice,

Was that singular, or cingular? :-) I wish you hadn't told us about the cell phone. We coulda' thought she was trying to get away from all these modern trappings and just communing with nature. :-) ....only listening to the waves crashing on the shore. At f11 you had some luck and a steady hand to record the tall grass stems as clearly as you did in the wind. I find it interesting when photographers go after an image with a theme in mind. I'm the other way around, I take the image and then figure out why I like it. Linc

Cingular

It was a play on words..this is not the image that I was after..it was only when I got it back that I found it interesting...I was shooting a little farther to the left....someone made a comment to me about not having people..in an image and I actually thought about that when I saw her..I had only been taking beach shots.If I see what I like, I shoot .I never know what I am going to get...sometimes it works ,sometimes it doesn't come back the way I envisioned in my mind"s eye....And it was luck with the wind.....we have had lots of Ocean Breezes..
