    Omaha Beach

    It's been so long since I posted! I returned from a 3 week trip to Europe yesterday and thought I might post a picture or a few.I took this one at Omaha Beach in France.

    Hello,

    I have never seen that sculpture before but I really like the fact that the tones in the clouds echoes that metallic structure and the subtle color of the sand works very well here.
    My only concern is that the horizon line should either be straight or more tilted for a dramatic effect. The tilt kinda looks accidental right now (although the effect seems to work here for some reasons).

    regards

    Seb

    Hi, it seems that you can't get away from litter on European beaches :LOL

    As for the picture as Seb pointed out the tones are really nice and all the components seems to complement each other. However it seems to lack punch on my monitor which I calibrated this morning. It may look better in print.

    I agree with Seb on the Horizon and the vertical item is off at the same degree. Easy to rectify.
