Flying Into The Sunset

This image is completely unmanipulated. I also have the same shot

with no seagulls and one with the seagulls on the ground but I

thought they add a nice touch flying. Thanks for viewing and giving

your input!

Tyler,

 

I like this photo, and wonder if I can walk on this beach with my fiancee and appreciate this romantic sunset.

 

On the other hand, I would have some suggestions to share.

 

I think the top and the bottom of the photo is not as exciting as the middle of it. Hence, I suggest you to crop out the top and the bottom of the photo, to make it become a panorama (see below).

 

Also, the colour composition can be somehow improved by adding filter.

 

Finally, it seems that the camera is a bit tilted when you took this photo. Do you use ball-head or 3D-pan head for your tripot when taking this photo? For photo of landscape, I think a 3D-pan head is better, since it's more precise.

 

Regards.

John-Thanks for the comments. I can see where the panorama would be more pleasing to many. I can't say for sure that I like it "better" but I do like it quite a bit! There was no tripod on this shot--this was taken a couple years ago with a little 2 megapixel Canon Powershot set in an automatic mode and underexposed by 1/3 to capture the sun better.
