Photographer’s Note

Skagen takes its name from the region, which projects into the waters between the North Sea and the straits of Denmark. Skagen is considered the boundary between the Skagerrak (named after Skagen) and the Kattegat. At its very tip is a sandy, shifting headland known as Grenen. Here it's possible to experience the sight of waves clashing together from each side of the tip.

The picture: little girl does the final steps to reach the northern tip of Denmark.

Thanks for looking!

Great B&W shot. Very appropriate framing as well
I like the reflection in the sea : it looks like a penguin. :)

Hi Alex,

thanks for this nice picture. I like the POV chosen with the girl in the middle, almost lost and lonely on this beach. The choice B/W is perfect here and gives a nice mood !
Congratulations ! :)
Have a nice week-end

Aimée

nice composition and beautiful framed - fine with B & W to create the effect of the girl who explores the world.
