Is the guy on the right holding a camera? Shouldn't he have to draw or paint pictures of the beach? A little more centered and it would be great.

Great subject matter. It's too bad the cliffs line up with their heads the way it does. I think it would have been better visually to have had the cliffs either clear the top of their heads of had the heads line up above the cliffs. Great shot though.

this is hysterical. Given the opportunity to 'change' something, I wish the shadows weren't there, but they certainly don't ruin this. Great photo!

he he ... I hope that isn't a camera he's holding :). I think a tighter crop and less DOF would have worked better. The kids in the water, especially the one in the red shirt are a bit distracting.

Something about this really catches the "people" aspect for me. Nice shot. In my top 5.

Amish at the beach...who knew? Unusual and interesting subject, good job, This might have been better from a different angle though, in terms of where the shadows fall - One shadow almost covers the second man from the right

Comment by drewmedia:
I really feel like the image is off balance. Just about everyone weighs down the right side of the image, and the crop is also heavily to the right side of the image. I'm guessing this was to get the entire shadow of the woman on the left. I can definitely understand that. Maybe if you were able to take another shot with yourself placed a little further to the right..

Must have been a long buggy ride! I like this one. Swing a little to the right, you would have centered your group better and avoided some of the noisy clutter in the upper left corner. Step to your left three steps and center would have been great!

I like this one a lot. One can feel the interaction between the people. They ARE out of place somehow but sweet at the same time. I appreciate the humor.
Should have cropped the space behind the woman with the blue dress at the left.Maybe only leave the lover buildings on the horizon. But still the bset so far.
