    Re: a nice walk on the beach

    Woah, this is a strange one. The blue at the top and bottom throws me a little, making it a unique sort of shot. I like it OK as is but think that the couple probably needs to be bigger in the frame. Also, you might want to tone that saturation down a bit: the blue is overwhelming. - GB

    Re: a nice walk on the beach

    I agree with GB in that this is strange at first from the three layers of blue. the couple stands out nicely but may be a bit too small overall. It is very saturated, i agree. I'm thinking that this could be alot easier to handle and the layers go over easier and more effectively as a b&w. just a thought . . .

    Re: a nice walk on the beach

    I like this, but the vignetting effect interferes with the layers of colour for me.
    I would lose that vignetting, and keep the rest as it is.
    It's different, and that forces the viewer to look again.
    I know you can't choose the colours - but if you go back with relatives/models, then something other than black and blue, try brighter colours in keeping with the saturation of that blue sea.
    Unless you cam photochop the colthes to different colours ? Never tried that while keeping the luminance to show the texture/folds. I'm not good enough in PS
