It's been a couple of years since I tried my hand at landscapes. A trip to one of the most picturesque parts of Ireland meant I couldn't leave the camera at home.
And... ummmmm... I topazed it, I couldn't resist! So, too much, too little?

| Not too much at all! Love the little glow-y things (shells?) on the beach all lined up! |

Yeah, light reflecting from footprints.... Perhaps I should have made them the subject? :)

not a fan of the first shot, i have to say. My eyes don't really know where to look exactly, and the upper right corner is a bit distracting.
the second image however is beautiful! i love the composition and the subject is clear. nice job. |

I don't think you Topazed it too much at all.
I would recommend a tighter crop or lots of dodging of the upper right corner. While I think it is just a darker cloud, it reminds me of those snapshots where people somehow manage to get their finger in the shot. My eye goes straight to it. There's something warm and comforting about the blue in the opposite corner, so don't lose that. |

You mean my 2-second-crop+topaz about-to-be-deleted photo was your fav? ;-)
I really need to develop a better eye for what is interesting in photos... Even when I was doing a quick edit on that second one I found myself examining the patterns in the sand.

Thanks. That is dark cloud in that patch. You're right though, it is distracting. |

That second one is a gazillion times more interesting than the first. Nice work!

| Sometimes it's as simple as just getting closer. The second shot shows off the sand nicely as it fills a lot of the frame. The first shot could be good had you gotten closer to something, maybe the birds? |

| Thanks! I do like the second one much better than the first! And I really must get a better vocabulary, LOL! |
