this image really catches the attention...strong contrasts of the blues and white clouds...like the splashes of crimson amongst the leaves...nice curving of the beach..I feel like I want the whole thing lightened up..the foreground anyways

Hi Fay, maybe I did darken it a bit too much. I wanted to draw the eye along the beach to the figure. I will play around a bit more. Thanks for the crit.

Cheers Rex

Looking at the thumbnail it really stood out mate. Composition is perfect.
Exposure is good, as is the sky. Only crit would be to maybe lighten sand a little.
Lovely work buddy..cracking shot.

Hi Tco, I see you agree with Fay about the sand. I will play around a bit more and see what I can come up with. Thanks for taking the time to look and comment.

Cheers Rex

Good punchy colours Rex, and I like the comp. as well..... As TC has memtioned maybe a little lightening of the sands, but especially the ocean just to give that clear water look. The tree and the clouds are especially interesting.


Cheers,

Thanks Joseph. I will do a bit more. Where are you in Aus? I usually go there for R&R, mostly Sydney or Brisbane.

Cheers Rex
