Thanks for the share Barefoot. That one is now on my "to watch" list.

Missed these new entries - nice one Mbrager, I really dig the comp and moment captured.
Barefoot - Gorgeous. Fabulous comp and concept. My only niggle is - Was this shot on tripod? What was the aperture? Feels a hint soft on the salt.

Nope, hand held @f/5.6 with the 16-35mm f/4. I had the iso at 1600 for a shutter speed fast enough and that lens should be sharp at the focal distance I was working with. The full size looks pretty sharp on my monitor, so I'm at a loss.
