Photographer's Note
Dunraven Bay on the Bristol Channel Coast of South Wales has the second highest tidal range in the world. On a spring tide the difference between low and high water is as much as 10 meters. Such is the strength of the tide that no two tides ever give the same result. Some days the rocks and their pools are displayed on others the sand is as smooth as silk. I've tried to show every structure and every pattern visible in this shot.

So much beauty, and at the same time so much loneliness. Perfect exposure. A very clear and sharp image. The point of view is magnificent. Hard to believe that landscape is from the UK. Superb! Congrats. Kind regards. Gabriel

Very good image with great detail and depth of the coast. The golden light on the sand and rocks is fantastic with the blue sky.

Hi Gerwyn,
Thanks for your note on the tidal range here. I can truly believe it!! When we visited in the afternoon of one day, the tide was really low, on our return visit the next morning it was lapping right up near the top of those white boulders - incredible - it completely transforms the area and completely blew our hopes of hopping back down on the rocks to where we had been the night before.
This place is remarkable and you have captured it so well here in your shot with gorgeous light. Everything works here, from the patterns in the sand, the perfect reflection, to the lovely colours throughout. A brilliant shot of a beach that is already in my top 3 coastal locations in the UK.
Adam.

Hi Gerwyn - another expertly executed shot, amazing details in both the closer and distant parts, exquisite light, I will try a shot at it myself, I intend to spend a week or so in the UK in early september, I wonder what tidal surprises await.
