 cloudy day, boring shot. Haven't submitted for awhile. When I get bored I use my fisheye and take shots that are less boring because they are all curved n stuff. Av mode, forgot to open it up. shot at f/22 1/40...stupid me. I was pissed off because the surf was blown out, I really just wanted to be surfing.

umm..cropped, usm, raw adjustments to saturation, shadows, and contrast.

Like your idea. Like how you curved the horizon.

I just reacted to this the moment I saw it. It is a fascinating image for me, and I think you just did a fantastic job with your color and light. 10.

I really like the curved horizon, what lens did you use for that?

I really like this photo,but I think it could've been nicer without the footprints!

I like the idea, but would have liked to see the footsteps a bit clearer. The sudden right turn of the steps is somewhat confusing.

the beach looks very messy (not your fault, and you could presumably not have tidies without disturbing the sand). like your len though hope you reveal all after judgment.

Would be better if the tracks were of bare feet! I don't think they had shoes back then...Nice shot though

I'd have preferred if the footsteps established a direction. They sort of go in different directions and are covered with sticks.

Nice pic, but it just seems off some how.... maybe the horizon is too far up? and is the horizon curved, or is that a wave?
