    Re: Beach

    Nice beach shot. I like the edit better but, I would go just a hair bit more off the top. Just enough to get rid of that last bit of sand in the upper left.

    Re: Beach

    That is what I was debating too - taking off the sand on top completely ... but now I think it has "lost" something ???

    Re: Beach

    I'm with Frog also, you need to stop down for more DOF. I also think that the last crop was a little too much.

    Re: Beach

    Hmmm, that last crop didn't quite work as well as I thought it might when I suggested it. I will say that I like the DOF as it is. I dunno, might play around with the crop a bit more and see if you could find the perfect take on the shot. All the above crops are nice but, just missing something. Can't quite put my finger on it. Just MHO though.
