Great to see your waves again Joe!! This is great. I love the perspective with the human element. The only thing I would like to change is to get that couple to make up. They look like they've just had an argument!! If only they could both have been looking at the wave in unison!!! #379217

I agree Kate.I am also wondering why that beach chair is empty.Maybe I should have been there earlier.I think I may have missed something.It may have been "Three at the Beach"! It was 35 degrees C today,a beautiful summers day.Thanks Kate. #2325821

Like your photo very much Joe!!!
Nice colours, themes, contrasts and light!
my comment would be maybe to put the people on the left side (more) and to capture the rest of a big wave... Maybe the composition would be better? I agree Kate's recommendation!
Anyway, good work!!! #2325851

I agree with Iva that technically the composition would be better with the people on the l/h side more. BUT I love that wave and would not get to see so much of it!!!
Might be worth a try though and possibly clone out the chair. Reckon the person that went away was the one that caused the argument anyway! #2326284

Thanks Iva,Kate,Jeff and Margaret.Interesting comments all right,I love them and I appreciate what you are saying.I have fun with waves,I sit there for an hour or so,with everything lined up to shoot.But then the wave breaks this way or that way and never to plan.But of course I could crop a bit maybe to achieve a better balance in the pic.I took a number of similar shots,and I will check those out and may enter later.(Maybe in one of these other similar shots the empty chair has been washed out into the Indian Ocean and the couple have made up!).Thanks to everyone. #2330340

You did really well on this beach shot. You made it look like they were the only two on the whole beach. #2881045
