Race Point Beach

It was a windy, chilly day and I started heading back to the parking lot when I turned around and saw how blue the water and sky looked. There are no touch ups to this picture. It is exactly what I saw.
I used the Kodak dx 6340 digital camera on the auto setting. Hope you like it

Very strong blues, indeed, but it's the beach berm I find most appealing here. I think you could probably crop 2/3's of the sky. Beyond the thin layer of clouds, it's pretty empty and really doesn't add much to the overall image. The texture and contrast in the sand and grasses is inviting. I'd love to be strolling through this scene.

Looks like an inviting scene for sure. I agree with Nancy Lea that the sky could be cropped somewhat; I don't know about 2/3's but I would say at least half.

There's something bothering me about the way the sand leads to the left side; I feel that this might work better as a squarish crop, doing away with the left 1/3. It's got a relaxing static feel that suits square dimensions.
