Travis, I really liked the first shot of the beach (vacation), this

one, to me, looks a little flat (but beach lighting often is). The

lone palm frond hanging down in the top middle seems out of place too.

I wonder if the right filter would have jazzed the sky a bit more and

added some better seperation in the sand.

I'm being rather picky... I'd say its overall a quite decent, but not

outstanding image.

thx charles...it was the best i could do at that time...really hot

and humid and shiny...i had to hide under the tree shade to shoot

this..

Travis, don't ever say that when you know your capable of

<b>much</b> better. Apologizing for shoddy technique is a

birthcry for stagnation. How can you make the shot better next

time?

[travis2]

i will make it better when im down at the neach again..soon.;))

I really like it, though I would've cropped out the distracting

branch at the top of the frame, or included more for effect. Good

work. You obviously have a great eye for B&W. One I am still

struggling with.
