Beach huts on Brighton Beach

A better postcard shot than Agfa have been using for their advertising in the local magazines. Nice touch to have the sunbakers. Hope you didn't kick sand in ther faces when you moved on :-)

The bathers are distracting from the form and color -- can you tell them to move?

What a great eye-catcher. I'm not a pro, so I feel kind of stranger offering you advice, but for me, I would not have put the sunbathers in the pic. They do tend to distract, perhaps just a beach blanket?

Have to disagree with David. There's clearly no shot without the sunbathers. My only suggestion would be to not crop their feet so tightly.

I know that one of the bathers is your son, but I would have shouted at them to move :) Great pic though. I would like to have seen a bit more of the beach huts and a bit less sand, but I understand that family comes first.

Yes, I am one of the sunbathers basking on this fantastic beach. It goes without saying that we are essential to the shot !!

I like it with the people, it gives life to the image but it looks like your scanner is not very good though as you have nice photos but some have washed out colors and a lot of grain (but this one is OK). And thanks for constructive comment on my PS work. I have made some changes according to your and George suggestions. It is rare to get constructive criticism (to many just rate low with out explanation) Thanks.

Ah, summer, bring it on! Here in Quebec, we have been waiting long for it, notwithstanding a July of a month of May. I agree with Peter and your son, the sunbathers are excellent, but more space around the feet might be good. If I were to photograph the beach huts alone, a less collapsed angle of view would I think be good and perhaps trying a shot either close to the ground or on a stepladder (of course we carry these in our pocket) to see the effect. Must have been a weekday at Brighton....
