Comment by MrAkamai:
Very nicely exposed and contrast is very good. I think there is too much sand in the foreground and could use less (maybe even half of it needs to be cropped). It also appears to be slightly oversharpened. 5

beautiful scene, I might have cropped a little tighter at the bottom and left side to bring the lighthouse a little closer, but thats just my backseat opinion and it is quite nice the way it is.

Comment by graphicfunk:
this is a clean crisp image and a calendar type one. Caught too closet to the apex of the sun which is not the best for a dramatic effect. Yes, it is attractive and the colors are very nice and the technique is good, However, the image remains static.

Yet the good exposure brags about the good sand rendition. The texture here is convincing and the the composition is pleasing. 6

A nice shot here, brilliant colours and clarity. I feel there is too much of the sand at the bottom though, I want to be looking at the building, not the sand. 7

Nice scene, a bit neutral atmosphere. I can't help thinking that moving a bit further to the right and some less foreground sand would have improved it.

I like this and the colors are excellent. I think a bit too much sand in the foreground and that tree in front of the lighthouse really needs to go. Short of a chain saw, perhaps you could have used another angle. Good job.

This is a very well composed photo. Your eye can't hep but go toward the house. Well done for getting lower than usually too.

Comment by HRoxas:
Sharp image and the colors are great. To me it looks like it needs an element of interest in the foreground other than the texture of the sand. 8

Hmmm...this might be more interesting in BW, get some more contrast in the tones. As it stands, it's a tad flat for me. If you were more to the right, maybe to get more of the lighthouse, more of a straight shot of the sand and less of the trees...it could be better...but it's very nice, I enjoyed! Thanks!
