Hi from the critique club
I am not sure what you are trying to say with this shot. Is the focal point the tandem or the totally deserted beach?
I think your intention was to lead the viewer into the shot with the path, with the tandem being your focal point. The idea is good but the tandem is just too far away to create interest.
The sky looks a little contrasty and I wonder if you had used the selection too to select the beach/sea before adjusting the contrast that it would have left better definition to the sky
I think that changing you position would improve this shot, get closer and lower to the ground to give the shot depth and perspective. You may need to adjust the aperture depending on how you want the beach to feature within the composition. I do think that the sea seems very flat, getting low may only leave a very thin line of sea. What is really needed is to get high, but you probably do not keep a 10ft step ladder in you kit bag.
You mention that the shot was taken at dawn so make use of side light maybe angle the bike to make use of shadow. Turn the wheel into the path so that the wheel also leads the viewer further into the shot.
If I have miss judged your intentions please feel free to email and I will gladly take another look.
Above all experiments and go with your own feelings. It is originality that gets noticed.
I hope you find this critique useful and I wish you good luck in future challenge entries
Regards Rosie

| nice shot, i would have like to see the bike closer to the top of the photo (rule of thirds) rather than the middle. |

Very nice.
Breaking all sorts of rules here, all successfully.
Horizon in the middle - check.
Subject dead centre - check.
But it just works. |

| interesting..... being REALLY picky i think this would have looked a bit better if the handle bars were not crossing the join line between sea and land but that aside, nice composition, and think this would have looked even better with a deep blue sky! |

| Cool, nice leading lines and interesting perspective. might be cool if you got a little closer to the bike next time, to get more detail and also because the horizon of water begins right at the top of the bike, which doesn't look quite right. But I'm just being picky - lovely shot! :) |
