As I remember, you live close enough to the beach to get these photos by walking down there, right? Oh....how lucky you are. This is so interesting with all the people doing slightly different things and the drama is amazing.I could be wrong but it seems maybe a bit too balanced if you consider the people part of the black foreground. Since the sky is where the drama is and if you can crop a bit of the foreground out, it might even be more spectacular. If not, this is still a winner in my book. #6235871

Stan..thanks!Debbie,I uhderstand what you mean.thanks for the tip.I'm not the greatest cropper! I soppose I thought if I cropped more in the foreground it may appear too long?? I'll try that though..thanks! Gail #6235929

Beautiful image!!!Gail. #6236590Dale Hardin July 27, 2008 0
Gail this is absolutely lovely. The colors are wonderful and the silhouettes are perfect. I agree with Debbie that it needs a crop to better balance the image. At least 1/2 off the beach below the figures would be fine.By the way, if you feel the crop would make your image too long you can always do a double crop and also crop either the left or right side as well but I think the panoramic view would be better. #6236594

I love both versions Gail, however the recrop, is stunning! With the first version I thought the people were on top of a hill (?). I will leave the balance of my comment on the re-cropped version. #6237221Gail R. Schuett July 27, 2008 0

I thought you were going to at least give us a long string of things that you did here. Layering pictures, adding tiny grey AURAS to the bodies, adding a heavy orange saturation...and this is what took me back the very most. That it was a "CROP ONLY!"
You didn't even add the SILVER LINING to the clouds. Just amazing. The whole thing. #6238393
