Ahh, another day at the beach tripping over the topless girls to get to the action

Jet -

It's a decent shot, but perhaps a little too plain. I think it needs a punchline. Colors seem a tad off, maybe too cool. Was it overcast?

I cropped this down a bit in an effort to fill the frame but I think that move inadvertantly killed a bit of the context. The conditions were bright blistering mid afternoon direct sun. I may take the time to rework this a bit, or maybe not as I *think* I got a couple better ones today during my lunchtime stroll on the beach (wind is still screamin' though)

Wait, you were tripping over topless girls to get a picture of a beach boy? Why don't you show us some of the pics of the topless girls?

Crop seems way too loose, I'd prefer to see it majorly cropped in, with his eyes well lit.

I agree. The image is lost in the busy blandness of the water behind him. Maybe some processing of the image to play with the color. Or, go B/W.

If any picture cries for a good background sunset, it's that one.

Great shot, that girl really going for the bronzed skin! Surfer boy's got nothing on bronzing woman.

The boat is an awesome element in the backdrop. I like the buoy too, but I'd like to see it moved a smidge, and the scene I think really lends itself well to a 1:2 ratio panorama. I did an edit with the new crop, got rid of the bottle on the left side.

And thank you for a very fun image to examine and critique!





again... Warning, reposting an edit.

Nice boat. :P The Buoy looks almost painted in. I rather like that look.
