Hi Kyle, Nice texture and good leading lines. I would recommend 2 things. A higher f stop(F22) so the image is sharp throughout and this type of image often times works better as a vertical...

[Kyle Marie Barcelos]

Thanks Dmills, I was there to get shore birds and always forget to change my f stop. I will go back and try to make it vertical to see how it looks, Thanks for the comment :)

A vertical crop would work quite well here Kyle, I like the repeated pattern in the sand...looking forward to your next one...:cool:

Sorry it took so long to re-post, I have a 19 month old and a 11year old, so don't get to much time to get things done. Is this crop better, I added more to the top with the grass, not sure it it help, Thanks everyone.

Think I like the orig Kyle, would add more water grass to the top to balance it off more. Good advice from Dave about using greater DOF to have all the sand in focus. Great texture and pattern in the sand.
