Description
I couldn't think what category this went in. I was just playing in the sand and decided to do some handprints. Then, when I got down low and photographed them, the strange light created by the sun still rising over the peninsula gives the hands a strange optical illusion - if you stare at them long enough, it almost looks as though they're not indented, but protruding from the sand...Related content

That was the first thing I thought. They were protruding. This is a wonderful shot! Perfect light, great composition, and color. Top notch!I could totally see this in a gallery somewhere.

Haha, indeed. Still drawing with our bare hands. Cave walls are more permanent, though.
