    A Hazy Sunset at the Beach

    Here's one that I wanted to run by everyone for their feedback. I took this at the Santa Cruz beach a while back. C&C appreciated and welcomed.

    Wow.. this is different. The prevailing conditions must have been ideal for fog?

    Seriously, the people in the background you could almost use in a Dawn of the Dead movie poster. The fellow in the foreground gives it depth, too bad he isn't in a more interesting angle.

    I say crop out the area right where the tree starts and use as collage material for an evil photo around Halloween time

    Interesting image. I would dodge the foreground and burn the background to see what that looks like also, or not.

    I agree, I think I would print and hang this one.


    A+ great shot. Unique.

    Tyson, thanks for the nice comments, but I'm pretty sure you're saying the complete opposite of GB (if I read it correctly).

    Clone out the white spots in the foreground and rotate it CW a hair. I really like it. Nice capture.

    I might be LOL, Beaches are suppose to slope Greg. I think you are right about the white.
