Greetings From the Critique Club

First Impressions:
beatiful sunset, but what's that thing in the lower left? (as you look at the picture)

Technical (Comp, lighting, color, focus):
Beautiful subject, wonderful focus, great eye for color and a magficent capture; however I think the composition/lighting is off

Challenge:
n/a

Artistic/Emotion:
artisticly, I can see that you were tying to capture the gorgeous curvature of the beach line
emotionally, after I realize the whole scene I'd love to go for a walk on the beach

Summary:
Maybe it was the darkness of the overall shot that kept you from a higher score, maybe it was the beach overpowering the shot; probably a combonation of the two. Overall it's a beautiful scene, however the eye is so drawn away from the sunset that it's hard to know what your supposed to be looking at.


Thanks a lot Lorie for your good and helpful critique, I think I agree with everything you say.
All the best, Bragi (Brin)

I think the area on the lower right is distracting - the rest of the image is dreamy!

Not bad, however to dark for a photo of this kind? I wonder if you zoom in to that horizon how it would be... hmm... 5
