    Family on the Beach

    This was taken from our balcony on the boardwalk. I was taking some shots of the ocean, and spotted this little family.

    Re: Family on the Beach

    LOL Did they get the dunking from the sea running downhill?

    Emily,

    You see my initial thoughts - really made me chuckle. I think this needs a serios crop from the top and possibly a tad from the bottom to make it work.

    I love the lighting and the colours in this shot even though it looks like high noon - its just the perspective I have problems with.

    Lol Roger...I'm fairly sure the perspective is like that from the water washing up on the shore...I think if I straighten it to fix that...the people won't look right. But I'll try it anyhow.

    Thanks for your thoughts on the lighting and color as well...and as I said, I'll look at the crop on this.
