    Framing

    I have tried this one with the idea of natural framing . Do you think it could be natural framing or would the tree ( branches ) be too distracting ?

    All your comments would be appreciated .

    Regards

    The branches?

    I guess they are branches?
    But yeah I think they are a bit too disctracting James.
    It is a fairly interesting image, but I think the branches must go.
    The light is great, so is the framing.
    There is some good contrast between the sand and the blue sky.
    Good job!

    I'm with Brian.

    I think if there were more of them, so that they were distinguishable as branches, they might not be so distracting, but as it is, it's hard to tell exactly what they are.

    The branches at the top are a bit distracting... also, I think I would have tried to get the tree on the left to continue to the bottom of the frame. But that's just me. The lighting is great, the yellow umbrellas against the water are a nice contrast.

    Re: Framing

    I like it, however i think that if you cropped off the branches at the top, and some of the bottom, so that the gap left without tree is even on both side it will look even better.
    this means it will be a square crop.

    Good work, i love the exposure!
    Sooo, do you like stuff?


    Well do ya?
