A tighter crop would have helped by removing the dull background and enhancing the burst of colour of the pink top.

Safe landings.

looks to be a bit of a tantrum or loss of balance...like how you made the greens pop against the gray rocks

Comment by posthumous:
Outstanding. The title is perfect. The tilted horizon is essential to the effect. The composition is dizzying. Truly an exceptional picture. It's sad to think of all the DPC voters rushing past this... but that's life, right? All this beauty around us and we're too busy to see it. All I can do is give you some blue.

I wish I could have visited the beach when I was out that way. I expect you will be in the tilted horizon challenge, and will be looking for it.

Then I saw that posthumous had also seen it that way, so presumably that's all wrong. Except alas I think he's right in this case, which makes the title so apt. The mood, for me, is of those late 19th century 'art' studies of sturdy ladies in bathing costumes.
