While this beach scene is lovely, I wonder if a different cropping would have made it even better. Say remove the three black dots to the right (which would also get rid of that tower). Yes, I'd crop to remove that black dot (head) to the left too. Alll this would concentrate the viewer on the lovely interaction between the main characters. still, this is just my opinion.

Great title. Image could use just a bit more sharp focus...

Good seing. Glad that bird was there to complete the composition.

This is a fine image! Just one thought to make it (IMO, of course) even better. Look at it cropped just a tad on the right. Say just into the shoulder of the dominant person. There's some confusing stuff in the right border area that seems to be taking away from this very forceful image.

In any event, you were certainly at the right place at the right time and took advantage of an excellent scene.

Meets the challenge nicely. A crop so that that good looking tree is not smack in the center, would make this image very exciting.

While I would have cropped it differently (about 1/4 off the left side and some on the bottom) this takes nothing away from the difficulty and delightfulness of this image. Nice one. 10
