First steps. Second steps. Only foward. Running in circles.
Steve Rice from Olympia, United States
Well spotted. The composition and selective focus are so well done. The title is, as always, great.

Hehe, this kind of detail makes me smile, i love the idea of you noticing this and bending down to shoot (with an old lady behind you scratching her head and saying to herself : But what is she shooting here ?!!) :) Love the soft tones and general softness too*

the scene of you shooting this detail makes me smile ;-) all of photographers are the same lol love your angle and the great definition of details and sand. For the lunch of seafoods I'll return another day ;-)

Well spotted and a great pov, a reminder also of the damage we do to a beautiful world with all our rubbish.

Perfection, Zahai. Broken dreams perhaps of an enterprise that once held dreams for the owners, or perhaps a damning indictment of how mankind builds on Mother Nature's precious land with little care for the consequencies.
A great shot

wonderful, it first looks like that sign is part of the sand and now it stands out with your excellent use of DOF. I like the fact you don't over process your photos, just let your natural skill shine out! :)

@Laura: That's a great compliment, thanks a lot :)
Frantisek Mistina from Nove Mesto nad Vahom, Slovakia

The way you draw our attention to the subject of the photograph is outstanding. Much "food for thought" here.

@john4jack: Haha, I'm not quite sure that I'd want to eat whatever was in that box though ^^
Larry Bliss from Raleigh, NC, United States
One of those images that is both interesting as a photograph and as an editorial statement. Well done!

Stunning and meaningful photography !
The blue of the inscription echoes to the blue of the sea in the background... and the relief of the box stands out the background so well !
