Knife Avalon Beach

Fisherman's knife left on the beach. Avalon, New South Wales, Australia.

Simple and powerful image. It's even somewhat unsettling. Love the color choice - is that sepia?

Brilliant DOF, and I do like the sepia. A superb image.

@Bronnie: From my lovely old Minolta medium format now gathering dust. The superfine neg not quite reproducable with the negative scanner.

So simple and effective. Love the dof and the positioning of the knife. Excellent shot!

Interesting composition and great use of DOF, and kind of eerie.

Spooky. Lovely detail, DoF. That sand grain is cool...

The focus and tones give this image a kind of dreamy look. I like it!
