Footprints

you got a nice motive here...but the photo lost its strength because the point of view is much too high and the angle between the horizont and the footprints is simply too large in my eyes. try to place the camera closer to the foot prints. more over some extra details would be great.

go on, martin

Could just as easily be the surface of the moon!

I took this originally because the setting sun was creating shadows

in the waves of sand and bringing out the detail. I darkened teh

sky and increased the contrast of the phot in PS. Let me know what

you think.

 

Sorry i havent been critquing photos recently. I was out of town.

It's a very interesting pic...a bit of weird feeling. I like it!

The chaotic nature of the footprints is what really makes this photograph work. You get such a feeling of coming and going in the foreground, while the background is the very picture of tranquility. Nicely done.

Very cool. The black and white is perfect for the mood and I really like the texture in the sand. The light is nice too. I'd also prefer pristine sand with only one set of footprints but I know that's not possible. The even tone of the sky looks a little odd to me though. I'd try burning it in completely black for even more drama, or at least burn in a bit of a gradient. Well-done!

Like the tones, though I would get rid of the top area. Maybe a sq. image....

I like Chip's idea to get rid of the sky, which draws attention away from the footprints. If footprints are your main object, I will crop it a bit tighter to 'force' viewer's to look at nothing but the footprints. The cropped version does convey a completely different feeling than the original image though. I like the side lighting which enhance the texture of the sand and the footprints.
