    Re: Sunday Afternoon

    i think i'd like one inbetween, the yellow is just to overpowering in the second one, not in the sky but in the foreground. nice shot though, lots of action, but still simple.

    I'm with Dylan on the color, of the two I like the first. But it is a very beautiful picture.

    Re: Sunday Afternoon

    I really like your depth in this picture, the beach really just seems to go on and on. I like how it seems so busy and so active yet still relaxed and vacationish.

    But I would also tend to agree with the others, the second is a little bit to yellow for my taste. I really like the color the sand has in the first one actually... Also maybe try cleaning up the white (dust?) spots over on the right side and that big one in the middle, I find that one in the middle kinda distracting.

    Re: Sunday Afternoon

    wow what a difference, i really like the yellow sky with the palm trees and birds against it. however i;m nto sure about the large yellow beam of light covering most of the people and beach. it might grow on me or not. i'll let you know.

    Re: Sunday Afternoon

    I still like the first one. Weird kind of shot, packed with action, there's even a parachuter in the distance. I like it. I think it might be better if you took out the yellow cast all together.
