To create a photo that is uniquely yours, you get to select from several Coastlines Photos that we will merge with your handwritten message. Just scroll down to view the photos. These images are set at a low resolution.
The reason we started merging the two photos is that we can't predict the weather and tides. For instance, we might go to the beach to write your message and find that the weather is bad. Bad weather makes for bad photos. As you can see from the photos below, you will still get a very realistic photo even though it is merged. And, you can choose in advace just what kind of scene you'd like with your message.
If you would like me to take your photo, with the "background" of the day, not a problem. Just be aware, it might not be a sunny day. However, if you are not in a time crunch, I go to the beach several times a week, and can wait for the perfect conditions. Simply write "photo of the day" in the background area.

Here are two photos. Same handwritten message unmerged and merged.
