Or, how far south :P

Nice shot. And kudos for doing a nice crop job... So many here seem afraid to crop their photos to enhance the subject. Fine job.

very cool - it definitely looks like the horizon is crooked, but it may just be the lay of the land.

I like the desolate feeling of this, but because the subject is just a tiny speck on the horizon, so to speak, it doesn't feel much like a candid to me. Also, it feels as if it needs to be tilted to the right a couple of degrees

Has a very desolate feel and image sizing makes it feel as if it would be just right for a coffee shop wall (thats not a bad thing btw)

Nice work...but a little soft in the details. Try some Levels.

I look at this and am a little confused by the focus. It appears that the dog is in focus and the person isn't and I think that this feels a little awkward... Also you horizon appears to be crooked. There is an easy fix for this if you have photoshop. In fact there is a tutorial here to show you how.

Probably more of a landscape than a candid. Beautifully composed and processed.

Nice Diagonals made by the sand and water, nice processing.
