Indian Beach

This is an image of Indian Beach, which is situated near the middle of

the coastline in Ecola Park, Oregon. Thanks for stopping by to have a

look.

Nice treatment of a classic seascape. I like the way the beach angles right to left and then curves back to the sea stacks in the distance, and the delicate colors in the sky and surf. The scale of the wide view is reinforced by the the driftwood logs on the beach.  I might be tempted to subtly enhance the warm sunset color in the center and upper left sky.

Beautiful soft, yet striking image.  Isn't the Oregon coast great?!  I like this image as is, but think you may have more than one.  I'd be inclined to also try cropping this to get a different, not better, effect.  While at it, I added then enhancements mentioned in the above critique.  I added luminance, a bit of a warming filter, and deepened the image with the effects adjustment layer.  As I said, I don't believe my changes are better than your original image.  It's just another way of looking at the image. 

Thanks Jim and Larry.  I will try making the adjustment, Jim, to the sky.  Larry, I like the crop you did!  I would have never thought of doing something like that!  Thanks for dropping by you two.  Let me know what you think of the second version.

Here is the revised version.
