I like this picture atia. Whilst there is barely anything I can actually point to and say 'that's good', as a whole something about it just clicks with me. I'm not meaning to sound patronizing, but there is a beautiful naiviety in this picture that can't be faked. It also very truthfully portray's the way that people (speaking for myself at least) stand ankle deep in the sea and gaze at the horizon. It is the feeling this generates in me that has caused me to live walking distance from such a vista for the last 7 years, in 7 different towns on 2 continents. On a technical side, there are some obvious issues; the horizon is not straight (being something that usually gets up most peoples noses, but here doesn't seem so bad as it's not taking the viewers attention away from anything else), the 'dirty' grain and grit, which can be cleaned up using free software. This all probably makes no sense, but I do quite the picture you have made Atia. I have made a workshop that addresses the technical points I raised, but does soehow remove almost all the things that make this picture good in my eyes. But if you adjust your settings to allow me to post it, I will.
