Beach Triptych

[PrevailingConditions]

I've been watching these diptych/triptych things going past and thought that I need to give one a try. How did I do?

You did pretty good I think. Your left and right images balance each other very nicely indeed, which is important in a Triptych - the foregounds leading out diagonally to an out of focus background. The diverging paths too make the Triptych look wider, which is a good thing. Also, I don't think you have overdone the framing. Well done!

Two little things though: I don't think your middle image is the strongest one you could use, and I thought it might all be stronger if you had some kind of closer view in the middle slot - maybe a lifeguard station or something? I think the premise behind triptyches is that the middle image ought to be the strongest with the other two acting as a sort of frame. Also, I think that if you could get the horizons a little more symmetrical it would help.

Please have another go at it, and let's see the result.

Cheers

PC....The end frames are great. I'm in agreement with Mike on the middle one. Still a very nice job.

Thanks guys, I really appreciate the feedback. I'll go back through my shots and see if I can come up with a stronger shot for the middle.
