My take on the other haystack... the light was really nice - the beach quite occupied with kids, trucks, cars and campfires - the parking lot was completely full, and I believe I was the only photographer on the beach.
Canon 1D2
Canon EF 70-200 at 70mm
f/22, 2.5 seconds, ISO-50
3 stops neutral grad..
Now, me, I would crop out the horizontal lines in the foreground. I'd keep the same aspect ratio and maybe take some out of the left as well. The horizontal lines sort of keep me from entering the photo. Just above them are some nice sweeping lines. Those lines are definitely leading me into the photo! Leading me into the photo that is this graphic and dreamy is a good thing! (as usual, imho, of course.)

Thanks for the comments, and also Mark for your valuable input. I wanted to post the full frame of this here, and the suggestion you had was very good. Appreciate it all very much!

Awesome image Ned! I second Mark's suggestion. You were rocking over on the coast!
I too agree with Mark's crop suggestion. I love the swirls in the foreground and the overall pastel colors. You did an excellent job of cleaning up a chaotic beach environment of cars n trucks n dogs n kids n all!!
