The cauliflower puffy clouds are what first caught my eye, and really seem to dominate the image beautifully. The water flats next create a pleasing and interesting pattern on the shoreline. I would be inclined to actually crop a good cm +some, from the bottom/foreground to further strengthen the image and those elements, plus widen the format. Wide narrow formats are my personal taste, preferred over standard camera shape. A very nice composition that would also look well in BW. Well seen and captured.

Another excellent big and wide space Else. The figures add to the sense of 'bigness'. BTW, I've left my cropping hat at home today

Hi Else....there seems to be a strong pull of perspective here which I really like and it's making me want to look right into the photo.....I think the clouds are stunning too!!!

Hi Diane, Glad that you like it .. it really is a lovely area to walk in .. and the beaches are filled in the summer months, so makes it a little more difficult to get a parking spot.
