I really love this picture. Love the angle used for this image. Great focus and clean shot. I really enjoy the blue water in the background. Nicely done. High marks here!!
Thanks everyone, glad you've enjoyed it. There will be more to come as I find time to edit what I’ve got. I certainly don't mind the praise, but I'd love some constructive criticism as well.
I have one bit of constructive criticism. Before I saved your image to my wallpapers, I rotated it clockwise one degree and then cropped it back to rectangular. I have a "thing" about horizons that aren't quite horizontal, and this fixed that. Love the photo, though!
It's got great colors. I really like your DOF here, if it were too deep and too much was in focus you could have lost the one shell in a busy field. Sorry that's not a criticsm, hmmm, ok the horizon line thing otherwise composed and shot very well.
Ahh Longboat key one of the most beautiful places on the earth I grew up walking the beaches there at a place called Whitney Beach on the north end of the Island.I am now 50 years old and long for the tranquility of how it used to be in the early 70`s I must say its been built up quite a bit since then.
