I love the result and composition. I just wonder how is the original in a sepia o BW tone...

Really nice shot. I'd happily have that on my wall at home. Make a good album cover..

One way of "rescuing" a very ordinary photo, but not for me, I'm afraid. :-(

Nice.not normally my thing at all.

Thanks for all your comments and to the editor for the award. I very nearly didn't upload this one, I'm glad I changed my mind.

Love this photo and recognised the beach, my favourite of all the 'West Auckland' beaches.
Like what you've done to soften the photo, but keeping the energy of the pic.

A great nostalgic image, reminds me somehow of a Victorian print. Good harmonious use of colour. I might try this myself!
