This is a beautiful shot Lawrie, the contrast of colours against the sky and sand works really well, the warmth of the sand against the cold blue sky..
I also like how empty the shot is, no people behind or signs or anything, just emptiness, really helps pull all focus in on Harry.
The pose of Harry also works very well in the shot as he forms a triangle shape. I also really love his reflection, if the sand wasn't wet I don't think the shot would have worked quite as well.

Overall a great photo, the only thing I'd be tempted to do is clean it up a bit by removing a few dust marks and bits.

Thanks Alannah
I just saw him there and thought 'photo'

It wasn't hard to get nothing else there, no-one else was on the beach as there was a really strong wind blowing and it was raining

Yeah. I wouldn't have done it if it wasn't wet. You know how much I like reflections xD

Haha will do! Cheers

P.s. AHHH LONG COMMENT!
