Beautiful scene . . . love the interplay of light and shadow. NOT (personally) a big fan of the composition. Lesson Number 312.a ring a bell? Centrality? Horizontal center seems too close (see attached)

Too Centered?? |

Now consider the attached example eliminating SOME of the sky which will now emphasize the brilliant use of light and shadow in the surf . . . a more dynamic (IMO) cut for the shot. You're excited (I'm guessing because of the wonderful quality you routinely have lately) . . . but now the composition - accents - etc. are MORE important because more is expected. Michele . . . the work and your improvement is simply amazing. Just keep in mind the details . . . soon they'll be instinctive. By the way . . . I've been very impressed with not only your work but your critiques of late . . . You're becoming quite good (IMHO)!! Like I've said about MarnyQ . . . you must have had a good tutor!! LoL! The shot is really good anyway . . . I know you know that. Sometimes it's hard to crop out part of an image to strengthen the composition - especially if you need to crop out a good part! :)

For what it`s worth I agree with you 100%.With a tutor like you no wonder she has made such a big improvement BUT then you have a model student who wishes to improve.
Take care Doyle,keep up the good work.

Oh Robert . . . :P
A model student is right! Clever . . . never too upset at all my nitpicks . . . capable of learning and cautious to do so and move on . . . keeping everything under advisement. It IS more about a willingness to learn and ability to listen . . . without which I would have long ago moved along . . . but YOU are 100% right . . . nobody teaches without students. I think Michele would have learned all this anyway . . . even if it took a bit longer . . . I'm just proud to have been a help!! (And tickled pink she thinks so . . . shhhhhh!)
Regards,
Doyle I <~~~~~

Great azure - blue tones Michele, the depth feeling is strong. I could sujest you a smaller apperture in photos with big depth for better clarity in bigger area.
See you!

Yes.. I agree I do have The best tutor availble IMO ! Absolutely right , and I* do think the pano type of shot is waaay better.
I agree with all you have pointed out Doyle and your timming was so perfect for telling me this. I had taken 92 shots going out of town etc. and hoping for some good ones.. this time just getting a clear shot was definitely not enough .
Great idea cutting the sky . With much appreciation as always !!
Warm wishes,

Hey Michele! I can see after being absent for a few days I've missed some good stuff! I love the cool blues in this one...appropriate for a Monday huh? Wonderful light/shadow and a great job with the horizon. Doyle's suggestion to crop works well (of course, and he's the first to tell you how right he is) to pump it up a notch. Well done!
Thanks for the comment, I appreciate it!
Take care...Robin
