I am no expert on landscapes but I like this Geoff. It has lots of different textures which I think works well. Nice muted colours and I think the water on the sand in the foreground lifts it nicely. :wavey:

Again I'm no expert but the foreground "interest" rocks are slightly not right for me, I think the LH one in particular is the wrong shape and lying angle compared to the rest of the beach stones. I would have passed over this stone grouping and taken three or four steps to the right and concentrate on the more even stone shapes and the diagonal ramp lines - perhaps even raise the tripod shooting height slightly to empasise the disappearing "wave" of the stone ramps as a stronger leading line to the cliffhead :confused:

These are minor nits on what is still a pretty fine effort

Thanks both :smile:
Nash is a great place to photograph, there are so many possibilities, as you've said Mike, by just moving a few feet the whole foreground can change dramatically.
I have loads more from this area to upload that show the variety of rock formations and the place changes with every tide, especially after a storm.

Beautifull warm colour to this Geoff, I like the FG rock on the left, as it's shape leads the eye into the frame. Very nice!
Regards,
Paul. :wavey:
