I caught this a couple of evenings ago. It had such a melancholy feel, even as I stood there. I know...It won't score well, cuz the feelings are only for me I think. Once the Coos Indian tribes had the freedom to call these shores home.

A nice quiet ocean view, very relaxing for some. I like the composition of this shot, the way the beach runs acroos the lower middle of the shot and the clouds coming at an angle is very good. A bit brighter and more clarity would have gotten this an 8 or above, as is a 7
There's a whole lot of nothing going on here. Reminds me of home.
Re: your email : I think you might have taken my comment as negative - I actually quite like the barren, wind-swept feel. It does remind me of the west coast of Scotland. The fact that you haven't let anything disrupt the feel of the shot is a good thing in my mind - very tranquil (I gave it a 7)
While I like this photo very much I find it is a little drab in color and the sky appears to have a lot of noise (might just be the screen I am looking at though). The sky is nice but would have preferred the beach and grass to be a little brighter. All in all a good shot though.
very soft, gentle. Whiel I like the feeling of peace this picture evokes, I'd like to see how it would look with a bit more contrast, if we could better see the difference between the grass and the sand.
