Dawn, Docks & Dogs

[Rebel]

The sun has finally shown its face again, so I headed down to the beach... not much going on but managed to get these two shots and applied some artistic licence to them.

C&C Welcome

Thanks for viewing.

Simply Great... to choose one i go for the first

[Shadowman]

Nice set, both have their merits, I think the dog appears as a speck so should be either cloned out or image should be cropped. Although small in size; the human figure is easily recognized and works well in the full sized composition. The other image stands on its own, a lot of foreground that doesn't contribute much to the composition, however the slanting tonal change prevents too much boredom. However a crop just below the tonal change would work just as well.

That first image is a beauty. Wonderful PP.

..and your signature is stylish without distracting

[GBO25]

Really nice. Especially like the first one because of the added interest of the walker and his dog.

[Rebel]

Thanks all

[mknittle]

both nice Matt, I feel that the dog gives the guy? a reason to be in the center of the image. I don't need to see the details of the dog to know what is going on.

Thanks Mark

I would zap the dog. It is too far away from its owner and too indistinct so just adds distraction.

Or alternatively; 'move it' closer to the owner so they are both walking towards the sun. There are a few faint trails in the sky which I would clone out.

The second image works fine as it is now.

Beautiful colours, Matt.

Thanks all

No, this time I am going against you, Geoff. Sorry..I like that shot very much...it is a nice scene and the human/dog element add to the composition.
