Too object oriented, not sharp enough...

Greetings from the Critique Club

What a nice way to celebrate the coming of summer. A nice sunny day at the beach with your family.

This image has a few problems that our voters picked up on. Technically, I'd say it is a bit 'hot'. With RAW you can dial the exposure up or down, and it would be interesting to see how this would look with less light directed at the subject.

Then, since this challenge was The Rule of Thirds, you will find that most people placed one strong subject in one of the sweet spots associated with the Rule and the rest of the composition was subordiate to that strong subject. Here the flip flops are equally strong, and take away from the rule. If they were both placed in the lower right (for example) it would have exemplified the rule quite well.

Still, it is a pleasant image; one that you will have as a reminder of a happy day.

Wow - very impressive! Nice example of symmetry. Loved the way you cropped it - very dramatic

It would have been great if it was possible to bring out the colours in the stained glass as it all seems a bit neutral. Love the composition.

Could be sharper and use a bit more light.
