    Robert,Excellent shot! I can totally see what you mean about the child being scolded. Its great. I have one minor suggestion and it might just be my personal preference. I do not like to see total white on the borders. I see the frame start with the black land and then it blends in with the matte. I would adjust te levels so that level 255 turns into level 250 or so. That way the eye can make out the entire picture frame.

    That being said this image is still a 6/7 in my book!

    Pat and Mehdi, Great point on the dark sand and graffiti. Pat, Now that you mention it the sand is a little bit dark. The only thing I have done so far to this image in photoshop is lighten the graffiti on the building. For me the graffiti adds another frame to this scene. One that is inextricably tied to the grittiness of Ocean Beach. However, Mehdi, I can see your point about it taking away from the people.

    Michael,

    I love what you are doing here. This would be an awesome shot if the cacti and mountain had as much illumination as the foreground fence. This would lead my eye effortlessly from the foreground to the background.

    Nick, Very nice. I love the interplay of light and shadows. The lens flare overlapping the mountain really works for me. I might even emphasize it more via photoshop. although I'm sure the next person who writes a critique will tell you to do the opposite. The one thing I would remove is the dust specks or birds on the right side in the clouds. the are almost unnoticeable but I think they would be more apparent in a print.

    Nick,

    Now that you explain it, I really appreciate your intentions. I would love to see a picture that captures the contrast you describe. Indeed, I have tied many times to capture that very thing. You are onto something here. the only problem is that on my computer monitor I had no idea what the top part of the image was.

    Just another idea. Take the same shot, but shoot it vertically with the simple brown plant in the lower part of the frame. The upper part of the frame would then show the modern life as you described and the viewer would understand better.

     

    Thanks, for making me think beyond classical composition. It makes us all better photographers.
