Very interesting concept of presenting a series of pictures.

I like both very much, with a preference for the first (probably for the slightly overexposed look)

They are also slightly reminiscent of some of Robert Heinecken's (sp?) work, but he never used layers in quite this way.

To me, figure-ground questions are the most important aspect of your compounds.

Your close matching of the shadowed sand with the sky makes this compound more successful, for me, than any-other of your's, that I remember.

I think you've invented a photographic genre, Bob.

There's obviously no clear correspondence, but for some reason these beach scenes give me a Martin Parr feeling.

I am a big fan of Martin Parr's beach photography. There is something eerie about those pictures. The colors and chaos in some of the photos are fascinating.

Just a frustrated filmmaker, I am.

Migrating over to micro 4/3 has been a big plus. It's a lot of fun attaching an Oly body to a view camera. Live view is a revelation.
