Had nice sun for a couple of hours today (very unusual for Michigan winters...). Had difficulity finding the horizon since I was laying on the ground - finally found the water. Everything else was at some type of angle.

Greetings from the Critique Club!

First impression: I gave this shot an 8 in voting, and I don't give them freely. Good job.

Artistic: Nice leading lines and use of thirds, and glad that there isn't anything dead centre. I like the wide angle and low POV...sitting or kneeling on the sand, am I right?

Technical: Good idea to have the horizon straight or you may have drawn some complaints about a tilted horizon. I know it's basically a landscape shot but I think the addition of an extra element to just left of the mid-centre would have ust given it a little extra. Someone walking away, or a dog running towards the shore. Just a thought. Might have been a little bit better with the horizon just a titch lower as it splits the photo almost perfectly in half. At least at that point, it does :-)

Overall: A very pleasing landscape, good work. Keep shooting!

Feel free to PM me.

Susan

Nicely composed. Good use of the diagonal.

i can almost smell the sea air...the thing is, the angle of the fence seems to work against the image for some reason, as if it is repelled by the water, leading us away rather than to it...
