The mystery of the sea

A seven year old girl looks out to sea at Arnside in the North West of England, as the sun sets low on the horizon, and listens to the sound of a siren that abruptly cuts through the onset of night, a warning sound that alerts all who are close of the incoming tide - a tide that can rise 6 metres in less than an hour. My daughter Rachel is the girl. Image adjusted in Photoshop, levels and curves.

    Hi Paul,
    Brilliant picture!
    After I was stirring a rather long time on it i was reading the lines you wrote - really nice words!
    It's a well done picture also because you have deepened the colours. Really beautiful!!!
    Cheers, Simone
