With beaches as empty as this you really question why people risk  infection on over crowded coastal resorts in the current pandemic climate don’t you ...  

I like this ... texture in the sand adds foreground interest, the figure tells  a story  and a sky with quite unusual  cloud formation. It’s not easy to get the balance right with views of flat, wide open spaces with  little subject matter to focus on  and I think you’ve recognised a real compositional opportunity when you’ve spotted the chap with his metal detector .

I used to spend literally hours doing exactly that.... having a sun-worshipper wife, was the main reason, she could sit, lay, relax, get wet, get dry for hours and hours on beaches....whilst to me it was, hot, uncomfortable, boring, boring, boring.... 

Acquiring a metal detector was the answer... I used one, as much as I use a camera today.... in between being an exceptionally busy social worker and spare time scenic artist.

The hobby got me new friends, made me very keen on history, archaeology, and artefacts.... created out of me a keen  local historian, who was founder member of an anti aircraft gun site preservation group....  led me to an amazing hoard of silver Roman Deneri ....  plus other significant finds....all officially recorded....oh, and much, much more..

Sadly...breaking both legs, put paid to the hobby....an amazing one for exercise, interest and for making friends...

A great shot, initiating many happy memories Denis.......Thank You !
