That's a beautiful shot, Shez. Try selecting just the sky and blurring it a bit. It looks like you ended up with some noise from pumping up the contrast.
My attention goes straight to the surf rolling in on the horizon in this image. The tan shore against the blues of sky and water make this pleasing to see.
I find it odd that I rarely notice borders on pics unless I see something about it in the comments with the pic. It happened with this one. I enjoy images with small details on the horizon and spotted around within the image. This one has that quality.
how did I miss this one - directly into my favorites, do not pass go, do not collect $200 :)
absolutely stunning, composition, colors, everything just spot on. Love the contrasst between the dramatic blue of the sea, cheerful blue of the sky and richness of the sand.
the colors in this are so amazing. the crop gives it a wow factor too that i dont think a straight on shot would have. the blue of the sky looks like there was a bit too much contrast or sharpening used. it has a texture to it, some gaussian blur or neat image used just on the blue of the sky would work wonders.
Excellent picture! My only little thing is I'm not a fan of the border. I don't think it needs all three colours in it, as it detracts from the picture itself.
"WOW" Thanks so much for your comment, and also adding this image to your "favorites".....

I like the lines and composition of this. The birds on the shore are an interesting addition. It looks overprocessed (oversaturated? Burnt?)though and I wish everything was more was in focus.
