England Hampshire Lepe Beach The Solent The South Isle of Wight beach dark grey sky low tide man in swimming trunks man in swimsuit paddling towelsThis looks like Lepe Beach on a fairly chilly day. The pink figures in the foreground look more naked than the people already paddling in the retreating sea. But for Dad the needs of the composition constitute the strongest logic and he must have decided that those figures were needed in order to enliven the expanse of muddy low-tide beach. They may be metal-detectorists or bait-diggers but whoever they are, they push the other people back in the picture space in a satisfactory way.
