Evening in Cannon Beach

I'd like to hear your comments. Thanks!

This would have been a wonderfull shot if it wasn't for the lens glare and the small spots (dirt or impurities in the lens element)that occupy a large portion of the top right corner.

I've seen your portfolio, so I know you've included the lens flare as part of your artistic statement for this image. It just doesn't work for me. My aesthetic rating is lower than what it otherwise would have been for that reason. (I have given a suitably higher rating to another image in your portfolio.) Are those birds in the air above the central rock? Given the size of the uploaded image, it is difficult to tell, and some might think that it is dirt on the lens or sensor.

I agree.

I left the image unedited originaly, but I see now it didn't work. I took out glare and birds.

Hope, this way it looks better.

I'll attach original image to this message for reference.

Thank you!
