Peaceful Beach REWORK

PLEASE VIEW LARGE

Thank you for your suggestions on this image.  I have reworked it by lowering the contrast of the water on the right and I also tried to adjust the color of the earth's shadow.  I'm not sure I was very successful in that effort.

I would appreciate any and all critiques and suggestions; they certainly help a lot.

The difference is subtle but noticeable and the repost looks great.
The color on the horizon is a bit more pronounced and lovely.
Terrific beach image....

Nice job on the re-post Bill, the changes really make the image pop.

Bill,

Simply amazing what a couple subtle changes can make.  Fabulous job of taking that feedback and taking this image up another notch.

I can definitely see this one hanging in a beach house somewhere on the coast, in a big bold white frame...oh, probably about 2.5ft x 5ft would look about right. cool

This repost/rework looks great, Bill. I love the mood and the subtle color and contrast.

I "still" enlightened think this is a lovely beach image, Bill.  The colors all look great, from the pure white sand to the golden grasss, the turquoise water and the fine earth glow.

Very nice, Bill. I once told a fellow photographer at White Sands NM that the pure white dunes reminded me of Pensacola, except without the water. Excellent panoramic view.

Those subtle changes have made a beautiful image even better, Bill. Nicely done.

You captured some wonderful light here Bill.  The soft pastel colors on the horizon are wonderful.

Did not see the first, but really like this. Minor but I might clone the plants on the left edge in the shadow. I find it a minor eye magnet, but not a biggie. Very well done, Bill.

A most pleasant capture of this moment to my eye, Bill. The pano format works indeed very well to convey the serenity of the scene to me. I like the rather crisp details of the sea surface complementing the textures of the dunes.
