Not sure about this
This is the last of my Ruby Beach sunsets. I like the way the fg rock and the fg s-curve leads you to the sunset. I wish the tide was in a little further though..Really not sure about the comp...We are here to learn :argue: Canon 5D - 24-70mm "L"

Dave,
I see nothing wrong with the comp at all...except maybe it feels heavy on the right side.

Feels much too cyan to me, Dave. I really do like the comp. though. Great use of that curvy foreground rock. If anything....maybe just a little more to the right would work too, but I wasn't there.

I like it Dave, I think the comp works fine, I really like the FG rocks, but I agree with Marc on the Cyan tint..

Definitely some possibilities up there!

Thanks for the comments guys and Yeah, I see the mucho cyan. I have to remedy that. Marc, I would have liked to move to the right, but a couple of kids were playiing there.

Dave,
I didn't comment on this before, but yeah, I think the comp is great. The lines lead the eye all the way up through the picture. That foreground rock has a compelling shape (or lack of shape)... Well seen.

I like it too. Definitely has a cyan cast to it though as seen easily in the foreground rocks.
