 Cronulla beach area,
Gorgeous day.
Very little to do - slight straighten, desaturate using hsl adj layer, and another hsl adj lay to change the hue so the darker areas came out a bit more.

This is good! Looks really cool with everything you got in it could be a little sharper though

this is great! I can't figure out which one I like best, the color or bw--I can't make up my mind!! They are both great!

Greetings from the Critique Club!

This is a beautiful photo, and a great subject for a black and white depiction. I think color would have overpowered the wonderful tones present throughout the picture. The composition is great. The major elements fit together nicely (I especially like the way the shape of the foreground bush fits with the shape of the shoreline). And there are plenty of minor elements (like people and boats) to make the photo well worth exploring in detail.

The major problem with this photo is the lack of depth of field. I long to see the same sharp detail in the village as in the foreground rocks. A smaller aperture (perhaps f/16) might have captured this. There also seems to be some moiré in the sky, although it certainly isn't serious.

A great range in this shot. I do feel, though, that it could be a little sharper.
