Beautiful capture Steve! #6764626

Wonderful summer shot Steve, A beautiful beach, it looks like the ocean. Great color and tones in the sand and sky. Try a horizontal flip. I think if you did this your eye would be more drawn into the photo and spend some time on the beach and see the sailboat as well.

I like the wave pool and your capture ,this is outstanding~ Lots to look at :) #6765619

Thanks very much, Rolan, Tommy, Dave and Tammy.
Here is the flipped version, Dave. I am debating which I like better. The flipped perhaps "spills off" the page a bit. What say you?

I like it. I think youe eye stays on the beach longer and takes it all in. The first version I just follow the little stream out of the image. #6772066

Steve M. Harrington November 18, 2008

Hmm...I like the way the stream leads into the image in the flipped version, but the clouds now lead me out of the picture. Nothing is ever simple, huh! :) #6772788

Nope, never is....But this just goes to show you how we all see the same image differently. #6773527

How about less sky? I know it's an EP...but I think that taking about 1/4 of the sky or a tad more will give it incredible depth.. in my humble, forthright opinion. I already tried it on the screen...it's my choice. Great minds think differently. Left, right, center...onward ho.

Here it is. I humbly bow to your forthright eye, Patti. What you are advocating is the Rule of Thirds, which I should have used here. I think the image is definitely improved.
Now, Ms Smart-Pants, do you like this or the flipped version? :)
Seriously, I thank you for your suggestion. We need more of that around here.

The original, personally. Indeed, Big Britches...the rule of 3rds?

Steve M. Harrington December 02, 2008

Thank you. I agree. My note should have read Smarty-Pants, btw...sigh.
