Arief, such a minimalistic image, Thats fantastic. I do feel the image is a bit overexposed.May the colour balance is a bit off. So that it needs a little more yellow. Dropping the exposure a bit will increase contrast and the there maybe darker yellows and browns

Hi Venter,
You are right, I add exposure during editing and make it more cold in white balance.
Here I attached after I put 0 in exposure and white balance.
Thank you for your feedback.   Posted: 03/17/2025 08:15:46

That's a great image. The brown sandy colors contrast really well with the blue and white of the water. The horizontal lines of the ground work well going across the water. And the silhouette of the lone person adds interest. Nicely done!   Posted: 03/18/2025 21:30:27

The person's silhouette really gives this a sense of scale showing massiveness of the beach. I like how the extension of water appears to be sky on the top as well, having kind of an abstract and painterly appeal to it.   Posted: 03/19/2025 02:35:37

Hi Arief,
Your rendering after Francois' comment is better. I find that your original post may be a bit too oversaturated on the blues. But I like the idea of this shot.   Posted: 03/23/2025 02:13:19
