I couldn't help but notice the color of this photo from another viewpoint. So often taking photos at beaches you see families with children enjoying themselves. Out of so many photos in this contest, this photo represents that aesthetic the best. Just a family sharing a special moment at the beach. Such a wonderful photo. Congrats!

This is exactly the kind of photo I'm looking for! Bursts of color from the sky reflecting on the sand. Your photo presents this better than any other in the contest. Nice to see how much of the sand was lit up from the sky. Too bad this guy was in your way, but it's creative of you to add him as another special touch to the image. Very well done, congrats!

These kinds of colors are what I was looking for in this competition, and you have the idea down how to capture it! Capturing the beach at the best time of day and getting as close to the sandy ground as possible to capture those beautiful colors reflecting from the sky. Congrats!

This photo captured the sort of colors I was looking for in this contest, and with a beautiful abstract approach. It hardly looks as if there's water at this beach, but instead an endless world of wet sand with colors reflecting down from the sky. Thank you for adding a unique perspective to this contest. Congrats!

The boardwalk adds such a delightful touch to this image! It adds wonderful depth. It's also wonderfully captured in how the boardwalk leads out to the sunrise. It's like a representation of humanity trying to take hold of the beauty of this planet. All the colors are there. Congrats!

All I can say is I wish I was there! This is probably how many people viewing this photo feel. I love how the northern lights lit up the water, it's the idea of what I was looking for in this contest but with a more unique approach. It's also wonderful to know this is a coastal beach. Congrats!

Brief

See more contest details

Show me your best photos of colourful beaches. My definition of 'beach' in this case is a display of sand alongside water, which can can include the ocean, but also sand beside lakes and ponds. One of the best ways to capture colour at a beach is when the colours in the sky from sunset or sunrise reflect on the sand but maybe you have photos of other ways the sand of a beach becomes colourful. I am happy to see what photos you enter, and I am sure there will be lots of diversity in this contest from every corner of our beautiful planet. I hope you enjoy the contest.
