Cerise Traigh Lar

Traigh Lar, Harris, Scotland.

A pink dawn exhibiting Earth shadow rises over Ceaphabhal  staining it blood red with a beautifully strong and clean sand bar pattern on the sandy beach  in front.

Sand bars on a beautiful Harris beach with Earth Shadow sinking on the

rising sun over the mound of Ceaphabhal.

Nice image and composition, but the horizon line should be level.

A classic beach shot with lovely morning hues. I particularly like the way the rounded hill compliments the angular pattern of the sand bars.

Horizon looks level to me!

best wishes, Stephen

Really simple and beautiful. I like the repetitive pattern of the sandy and water stripes and the colors too. Horizon is only a degree, or so, oblique, looks perfectly functional to me.

Ian,   Wonderful seascape with great color, light, and texture.   Larry

I've waited a while to make my comment in case I put my eyes in back to front (I wear contacts), truly I cannot see any tilt to the horizon, I have scrolled the image to the top of the page but even so I cannot see any discernible indication that the horizon is anything less than dead straight.

Ian, yes, I tried scrolling and you're correct, the horizon is level.  It must be an optical illusion, but when see at full-size, it really appears to be tilted down on the left.

I love the composition with the sand bars, the soft light and gentle colours!

Beautifully done!
