    I like the composition, everything seems perfectly placed. You might clone the guy at the end of the pier. He is a little close to the walkers head. Nice shot John.

    Re: A Walk On The Beach

    Nice job!..while your at it you might as well clone/spot heal that bit of white stuff on the beach to the right..theres a few pieces, don't think they add anything.
    Please ask to edit photos and I'll do the same! :thumbsup:
    Thx, Rod

    Re: A Walk On The Beach

    IMHO and knowing the beach... I like a little "Junk" in the sand it is too clean now... just my opinion... and you are making me jealous... the last time I was on this beach I was playing volleyball in a tourney and was young and in shape... sigh!..... the memories... and I am not sure but I think the same walkers were there...lol... love the shot.... I also would love to see the morning shots... with the fisher guys... jsut a request...lol

    Re: A Walk On The Beach

    I would clone out all the people add a grad to the sky , But it looks nice you can see what these people are doing, i think crop off some of the top or the bottom would help it.

    I don't live that close, so getting an early morning shot will have to wait, I'm afraid. Thanks for all the input.

    Re: A Walk On The Beach

    Nice, John. I wish the couple were sharper. I would suggest cropping a bit off the sky to bring your horizon line up out of center and then a bit from the right side to maintain your aspect ratio, if you wished.
