Calm

Continuing my peaceful theme - another shot at the end of my holiday - Le Touquet beach

C&C welcome

Calm indeed, I like it Kaye IMO the image needs straightening . Also some 'levels' adjustments might help to adjust the white point and the mid tones.I would also add a little structure or clarity to the rocks selectively.

Nicely composed.

There is a lot more contrast in this scene when viewed in the lightbox option; although I am then seeing some odd effects in the sky.

Going for a subdued approach with monochrome is tricky but this is looking quite good. Maybe some slight darkening of the shadows? More adjustments in the way of contrast would produce a 'stronger' scene but in this particular case that may lose more than is gained.

I feel the image need a boosted contrast and a bit of straightening; liked it

[IzzieK]

I like the image, Kaye but it is lacking an element -- animal, human?

[Kaye Leggett]

Thanks all for input and encouragement. I will take another look at these, although sadly Izzie I don't think I can put a person in !!

Very nice and impressive. Perhaps you could put more drama with shades but with good photo you can do whatever

[Kaye Leggett]

I've revisited this image - thank you for your feedback. I think this is better ?

[pnodrog]

The tonal range is much better and the horizon appears level. A good improvement. It would still benefit by an additional point of interest.(bird, boat, dog, driftwood log, or human in the distance)

Composite one????

[Kaye Leggett]

Thanks for the challenge, uhmm, not sure I yet have the skills. One day maybe.

[Wavelength]

You changed the gloom of the day to a pleasing brilliance; very well done

[bnnrcn]

The edit looks better Kaye

One of these days, you'll grow up...and try and will never look back.
