Love the composition and the lighting, however, for me, there is a bit too much sand showing in the foreground putting the image slightly out of balance.

Critique Club Review:

Good photo, and interesting angle. Too many people shoot from eye level and little else. Good focus, depth of field and and color. To my eye the sky comes across a bit washed out, and almost completely burned out between the foreground and background umbrellas. It's really tough to hold it all together when shooting into the sun. Cloning the man, and possibly the gull, out of the background might have helped a bit. Overall I like the picture and composition. It fits the challenge well, and definetly communicates the point that all the people are missing. Good job!

one of my ribbon picks -- great use of light (wish that one person wasn't in the shot)

I love the colors here and the feeling that it evokes. This is the best time to be at the beach. I think it is great that you chose a subject that most people would not, that of empty chairs.

the umbrella in the forefront is so dominant that I can't help but see it as the subject of this photograph. It's a beautiful photo with great colors and good composition, but I have to ring the DNMC bell on this one.

Nice work, but this photo clearly contains "subject"

I like this and preferred it even more with less foreground

Where is everybody? ;^) This is a good take for the challenge. I think it's interesting how there is a color theme going on here also, and most likely quite unintentional. Too bad you couldn't shoo that seagull and person out of there. ;^) Overall, very nice. Good luck in the challenge.

an odd and creative take on this challenge without "human" subject, though tome literalists in this site will see the umbrellas as subjects
technically an excellent entry and pleasing to the eye and soul 9

Sorry, but the umbrellas and chairs strike me as subjects of the image.

Ahh, this looks great! I want to sit down there, enjoy a cold drink and listen to easy music. I like the bottom-up perspective.
