Is this the Great Salt Lake? You could strengthen this shot by straightening the horizon and cropping the horizon on the 1/3 line (about.) The foreground dirt doesn't add to this shot. You have more potential with this shot than shows now.
the horizon seems tilted and there is really nothing of interest in the picture.
Sorry to be so negative about your picture :-)
It's not bad, just doesn't hold my attention for long.
When submitting a photo you should check to see if its level. Even tho it is the precieved angle it is very distracting and can be corrected with a rotation or some sort. In this case I would have rotated the image about 2 degrees CW. This would have made the horizon centered and less appealing so I would have also then had to change to crop. I also find the focus s a little off/out. Good luck in this challenge. <5>
i think the textures have alot of merit, especially that water mixing in with the sand. i think you needed to exploit them a bit more with photoshop. perhaps with a bunch more contrast. an alternative route if you did want to showcase the lights would have been to use a much smoother foreground that didn't grab so much attention. and of course everyone is killing you on the horizon line
Uh oh, an uneven horizon.....if theres anythingg you should know about DPC voters is that uneven horizons RAREKY fly. :) Good luck, your gunna need it!
This is so pretty with the lights in the distance and the blues of the sky reflecting in the sand. I love the dark contrast of the sand for such a dramatic look. I really love this! 10
