Description

This is a photo I took at the beach just as the water had flowed back out. I was able to capture the reflection of this couple in the thin layer of water they were standing in.

I really like this picture. It has a very interesting quality to it, and I love the reflection of the couple. I think, though, that this picture might look even better if it were cropped from the bottom up to a little below the bottom of the reflection. It's just my personal opinion, of course, but I feel that the expanse of water below the end of the reflection tends to dilute the effectiveness of the image a little bit. #4838

Thanks Gerda for your valuable input on my photo. I will try what you suggested and see if it works even better that way. Comments are always welcomed, it's all part of the learning process. #6964
