like this. A very good sense of width and space. The figures give a good sense of scale. With this one I kinda like the fact you have captured a lot of sky, adds to the 'bigness'. I'd say that if anything there is just a little too much foreground which takes away a bit the effect of the distant figures. I'd crop to just below the lowest of those horizontal wall thingys on the beach because I don't feel the closest area of foreground adds much.

Oh no! ... that's me suggesting you crop your image again! ...... just call me the mad 'cropper' from Somerset

I have read on more than one occasion that a photo should only be sharpened once, maybe the more experienced people on here could shed some light?

Hi Merv, it is done in Lab colour and in the lightness channel apparently it doesn't create as many problems done in that way .. Dave .. I am also posting the crop .. not sure if I have done enough or not ..
