I brought my camera with me today on my walk to the old power plant, and wasn't expecting much with all the ice gone. I was up on the sidewalk about 10 feet above the beach which I could see because the tide was dead low. I wasn't expecting much. I did see a woman walking her dog and it didn't look interesting because I was looking down on her. But I followed along as she walked and took pictures. She was close to the bulkhead, but as we got closer to Tappan Beach she moved further away from me and closer to the water. I kept shooting, just because that is what I do. So below is the first photograph I took and it is just not interesting. I took a total of 23 photographs, and this photograph, above, is the last one. And THIS is a real photograph, not just a snapshot! Lucky me. There is an old saying, attributed to Louis Pasteur: "Chance favors the prepared mind." I believe in that and that belief has served me well my whole career. So it may be luck, but it is also hard work. So now you know a little bit more about how I work.

I love your final photograph as it is all about the lighting for me and the diamonds on the water. The dog and walker silhouette in the light shade of sandbar is perfect. Or maybe that is your expertise and why you took so many photos.
The first photo is exceptional because of the winding water ways along the sand plus the sparkles on the water.
