FOOTPRINTS

A lovely frosty morning today, sadly I didn't have time to take advantage of it. I had to be at work for 9.00 and I drove past lots of nice frosty scenes and potential PaD shots as I went in. Unfortunately I had taken my time getting out from under my nice warm duvet, so stopping to take piccies would have made me later than I already was.

Anyway, I finished work at 12.30. By this time the sun had gone again, as had the frost, leaving the usual dull and dismal day I am rapidly getting accustomed to. Driving home I called in at Ainsdale beach and had a quick hunt round for a shot. Having walked down a sand dune, I turned around and saw the footprints so took a snap. I modified the result slightly, there was a little sky showing at the top which I removed by cloning the dune upwards, also taking the opportunity to extend the 'vanishing lines' to make the sand dune more pathlike.

I could make references to 'Friday having passed' or some other equally corny comment, but I'll resist the temptation :-)

Comments are welcome, thanks.

I hope whoever left the footprints wasn't going for a swim in the sea! I like this shot, looks good in B&W
