alnmouth beach

added one of my skys to give this image of the beach a boost

very effective use of photoshop - a good match. I like the way the clouds & the first part of breaker come together

Memories of the smell of rotting seaweed, and the warm sounds of the ocean beach, come back strong on this one, Kevin. Yeah, the sky adds something. I might have cropped a little off the left hand edge, to move the central netting to the 1/3 mark. Cheers.

Kevin, interesting rendition,very good DOF that leads you eye inside. I second the suggestion of a bit cropping the Lhs. in order to bring closer the nets. very nice. Pnina

Nice rendition Kevin, I remember being there.

awesome composition with strong subject matter and a great sky

Great decision on adding the sky...the added oblique lines make this a wonderfully dynamic composition. My only hesitation is the contrail...perhaps too parallel to the horizon IMO. Nice work!

Awesome,the composition and the tones are great.

wow. wow. bravo!

bellissima .... ottima prospettiva e foto...complimenti

excellent shot, I love the composition!

Nice shot but I wish the contrail were not there. Also, raising the camera position slightly would have afforded a better view of the ocean and prevented the horizon from intersecting the posts. Also, might have positioned the large post in the foreground a little more to the left. This would have placed it in the sweet spot according to the rule of thirds, eliminating the dead space in the lower left corner. Also would have moved it away from the confluence of clouds, which right now lies behind the post... Tonal scale is good and an excellent choice of subject.

Very nice beach image and I learned by reading R Jackson's comment.

For my tastel, I would contrast a bit the image.

 

Well done!

 

 

I like the shot, especially the expanse of sky, contrail and all. I also like the square format and would personally keep that. The shadow contrast seems a little light on this side of the barrier, like maybe it was dodged a bit? Could do a selective levels adjustment if you were so inclined. That said, it is still a solid image as is and I suspect it would make a lovely B&W print. Regards, Jerry
