Description A sand bar slowly rises above the tide, coconuts land and an island is born. The motus of Aitutaki Lagoon are constantly changing, and this sand bar may be a full fledged island by the time I ever get a chance to return.

Gorgeous, as always. I love all the curves in the sand and the colours in the sky.

Great shot, I think the foreground lacks contrast though, just an idea

Wow! Spectatular. Regarding the comment below mine, I feel less is more. If we took everything away and just left the colors alone, it'd be spectatular enough. This is a very unusual and beautiful and genius perspective to see in a photograph.

This picture is really pulling me in with the emotion. Also, the position of the picture is really great too. This is really awesome! ^^

Nicely composed with the curves of the shore line, and the clouds, and colours are really interesting, and effective.

I reckon a foreground subject would bring more to the image though, and maybe some more light, it just looks a little dull at the moment.

Agreed, the vignetting adds to the focal point, but not quite enough. Nice though.
