Playing at the Beach

[Richard Waas]

I photographed this image early in the morning with my Canon 50D. I wanted to give this a slightly soft and high key look. I liked the story of a man and his best friend enjoying the sunrise and the ocean. ISO 1600, f/8.0, 1/1250 sec, EF100-400mm f/4.5L IS USM, 275mm (445mm), Evaluative Metering, Auto Exposure, Auto WB, No Flash. Comments Welcome.

I like the moment you have captured here Richard. And I think the orton is a nice touch. The only thing I might do is add a bit of canvas on the bottom if you have it.

[Richard Waas]

Jackie, I have the canvas, but i thought it made it look dead center. Since the man was lying down it should be cropped more on the bottom, Just my thoughts.

[Richard Waas]

Here's a little more on the bottom.....

[Jackie Schuknecht]

I like it better Richard.

Hi Richard,

Boy, it looks like both your subjects were very cooperative. The dog's position is great, and I would have cropped it just the way you did at first, though I like it both ways. I like the mood you tried to impart as well. Very nice.

Richard, I like the repost better than your original. Some rules are just meant to be broken. I like the soft, high key look.

I remember this one during the walk. I think this is one that you should sumit for the contest.
