Beach View

Another shot from my disappointing beach sunrise shoot this past weekend. Processed normally it just lacked any punch, but with the addition of poster edges, diffuse glow, and TK's actions it looks better.

Thanks for any critiques, suggestions, or comments. Also, thanks for looking.

Wow, what a great glow in the sky. I really like what the poster edges have done for the sea and the grasses, but wondering if the foreground sand would look better if it were smoother or less textured. That minor nit aside, this really turned out well.

This is really beautiful and I love the rich deep color in the sky. Great image Bill. :toast:

Very nice, Bill. The rich colors of the sky are great and the composition is strong. I assume you used the lowest settings on poster edges; I wonder if fading the effect a little more would eliminate the dots/grain in the lighter water - which are a little distracting.

Great transformation of a disappointing original image!
Love the sky and sand textures.
