    Help Needed

    I have only a couple more chances of catching the sunset at this particular spot, so I'd like some feedback on what I should do. What do you think of the location? How can I improve the composition?

    Thanks in advance,

    PC

    I think it looks great as is. You might try a little more of an angle and try not to have the person quite as centered. I really like the way the tree frames the gentleman.

    I think it is a stunning image ... all I would do is clone out a few of the more straggly branches intruding into the picture.

    PC,

    I too think this is a very nice image. I would crop out the branches at the left edge but otherwise it is terrific. The color is nice, the sky with highlights of sunset, the darkness of the dock and person are perfect. Good job.

    The genleman looks a little lonely, but the composition and exposure is very good. Maybe add another person or child?

    Thanks for all the comments. I'm hoping to try it again when I have a better sunset. I'll see if I can coerce someone else into the shot and see how that looks.

    Thanks,
