You can almost get vertigo looking at the wave action and patterns sometimes, but that’s not the most interesting effect of this photo to me.  It’s the golden molten look of the water in the setting sun’s brilliance that is so rich and magnificent.  It’s almost as if the sun is sinking into the water itself and melting it into reflective bronze.  Add that to the matte perfect smoothness of the sand and the bubbled leading edge of the water…it doesn’t cease to amaze.  Visual deliciousness.
