    Default Pensacola Beach

    A beautiful day on the Pensacola Beach. Thought these elements defined some of the beach fun...sunbathing, volleyball, sand and parasailing. Most of my trip was rained on, so this was a special sunny day. 1/800, 5.2, iso 125

    Hazel, I appreciate what you were going for, but it's not really coming together for me.
    The composition needs to be "cleaner" with fewer intersection of the elements, and the light/time of day made this turn out rather flat.
    I hope it makes sense?

    Thanks for your comments. I think I get what you say about flot, but time of day, I had no control over, given our schedule. Not an excuse, just a reality. At the same time, being on the beach in the hot sun is part of the reality of Pensacola. I really want to understand your comment re the elements because I want to learn....are you saying there are too many elements in the photo? or that they are not intersecting at the right angles?

    Hi Hazel, I agree with Morkel's critique. For me perhaps the image would work better if you had chosen a perspective whereby the folks laying on the beach and the lounges did not merge with the posts or palm trees.
