I think this is perhaps one of the sweetest images I have ever taken. Its just a candid shot of mother and two daughters walking down the beach. Hubby is around somewhere two, although you cant see him in this photo, buy he is in the others I took that day.
This was also the first time i really went out and used my 1.7 x teleconverter, and I gotta say it gives awsome resutls, especially for candid shots like this of strangers.
My edits:
*Cropped out a bit to kind of just leaving rule of thirds.
*Hot Pixel removal filter
*Used healing brish to get rid of some destracting rocks on sand
*Auto Color
*Auto Contrast
*slight burning of rock
*Sharpened image
*I then used NI. I know you should do that first, but I couldn't get plugin to work till after saving it. Anyway I thought it looked better slightly with the NI filter.
*Then sharpened again.
And that is about it.
Not sure how it will do, since its not a photo of scales or anything really obvious, but to me it still represents balance, as they try to carefully walk on the rocks.

This is a good workmanlike image. Composition, focus, color and contrast are good. I am bothered a bit (especially looking at the thumbnail) by the dark left corner. Another crop might have improved it.
Very pretty picture. Great DOF and colors. The only element that I found distracting is the shadowed area in the bottom left. But otherwise, nice shot.
