I think this is a wonderful photograph. I think it would beasmall improvement if you increased the texture of the rocks and lighten just a bit of the rock on the right to emphasize the three, as the dark rock retreats too much and weakens the pwer of the three body composition. There are some artifacts in the sky. I counted 11. These are only minor edits, except the artifacts will be very distracting when you enlarge the photo. Great shot.   Posted: 01/08/2025 22:05:05

Hi Jeff. I appreciate the simplicity of this image. The overcast sky and hint of fog create an otherworldly atmosphere. Great job minimizing distractions. I did notice some slight banding in the sky. The composition and crop are effective. The inclusion of 3 rock formations and 2 distinct tide pools, combined with the movement of water flowing up the beach on the right creates a good visual. One suggestion, if possible, would be to lift the shadows slightly on the rock in the lower left corner and add a bit more texture to the large rock on the right. Nice job.   Posted: 01/14/2025 16:00:04

Hi Jeff, what a lovely seascape with the curves and shapes in the rocks. To my eye you made a very good choice in your crop of the original. I also like the effect of the vignette adding character to the sky. The removal of the people in a very good sense (to me) was very appropriate - too busy.

The only suggestion I might make (nit picking) would have been to have left one person in the image in order to give the rocks a magnitude of scale - give an feeling of the size of the formations.

A really nice image Jeff - thank you for sharing it with us.   Posted: 01/19/2025 22:16:31

Thanks for the comments Ed - Leaving one person is a very interesting idea. I'll definitely be trying a version like that to see how it looks. In my search for minimalism, perhaps I went a body too far!   Posted: 01/19/2025 22:59:30

You welcome Jeff. I would think the guy standing almost in the middle of the image might work well.   Posted: 01/19/2025 23:56:31
