Weekly Winners: 9 August - 16 August

weekly_winners
I'm going to try and choose my absolutely favourite shots that I took during our holiday in Shelly Beach, and because I missed last week's WW, I'm going to show you photos from the 9th onwards.
Hope I don't overdo it, but I'm finding it very difficult to choose from the 700 odd photos that I took. LOL! If you can, please choose your top 3, because I want to submit 3 of these to Camera Club this week and I need some help choosing ;)
Watching the sea
Waiting for waves

There was a LOT of debris on the beach which was washed up a few months ago in massive storms. The beaches have still not been cleared properly but the massive logs and trees made wonderful props.

I was JUST too late for this shot, but I still like it (I managed to cut off part of his wing)
Flying from the wave
Seagull flying from wave

Seagull on the rocks

And of course the magnificent sunrises! It's a pleasure having small kids when you know you have noisy "alarm clocks" to wake you up in time to set up tripods on the beach to wait for the sun to some up ;)

Wow Jeanette, those are all absolutely stunning! My favourite are definitely number 2, 10 and 12. I think those are all "gold" winners for sure :)

You can't expect me to choose.

Ok, well, I love the first one.
jumping off the log is wonderful too...um did I mention they are all amazingly, breath takingly beautiful and I can't choose?

They are all great. My favorites are 1,2, and 6.

Sorry Jenty I am going to be absolutely no help to you at all..

I thought yes this is my favourite for every single shot.. *sigh*

The first one of your son leaping is pretty special though. I could almost see his superman cape..

the last shot is a winner as well.. but seriously any one of this set would do...

Watching the Sea, Flying from the Wave, and Dreamy Sunrise.. Those are my favorite three, but they are ALL awesome!

Rebecca (Ramblings by Reba) said...

Oh my! I'd say my favorites are 2, 5, and the one of the bird with his wing "cut off," as you put it. Just lovely!

Korie said...

These are all so great! You really capture the beach. I miss the beach :(

Gattina said...

They are all very beautiful. It's difficult to choose, I love the once with the seagull and the debris pictures.

Mrs4444 said...

I vote for Debris at Sunset, Tossed by the Sea, and Copying my Brother. I also loved the first jumping photo, but I would change the title; he looks like a superhero in that outfit! :)

MiLeT said...

These are all so fantastic! I think my favorite is the seagull flying - even with the wing cut off, it's an awesome shot!

Karin said...

I like the first one as well as "tossed by the sea" and "seagull on the rocks". I actually prefer the first seagull pic, it is magnificent, but knowing camera clubs, the second one might be better? I'm not sure. But they are ALL fantastic!

S-V-H said...

it's hard to choose, Jenty, they are ALL great. I like action pictures the best, like Bradley jumping. They are so dynamic and full of life and joy!:-)

Sarah said...
