GREETINGS FROM THE CRITIQUE CLUB

NOT the easiest shot in the world to get. (And I have tried my share of this exciting sport.)

You're shooting into the sun, you are trying for a fleeting subject, and you are probably watching your footing.

Okay, those of us in the Critique Club are supposed to try to help make images 'better.' This is not an easy image because just about everything works beautifully. Somehow, I think you looked carefully at the different crops before you put this in competition. It does seem to me that perhaps you left a bit more ocean in there than necessary. The viewer keeps looking to this important dark, heavy part of the image thinking there is something to see, thus taking time away from the good stuff in the sky and on the horizon.

You're doing fine. And I look forward to seeing more of your work on DPC.

I hope this little critique is helpful to you.

Alice
