Aha ha! Men... he, he!

Your "main" subject is so small it's kind of hard to "get the point" right away -- I'd have probably tried a couple of tighter crops, but I do like the subtlety of this one...

I like this photo..and the sly energy in it,,,,,also the rolling surf and colorful bathing suits and bronzed beautiful people are good.

Very well observed, I never get spotted when I'm Checking it out, but youve caught this one.

I think a closer crop to pick out oggling dude a bit better would help. Try cropping just right of light-blue-bikini's head.

This is terrific. At first glance he's the only guy on the whole beach. But I guess he's just the only one payng attention. Nice set up, Vetical bodies on the sides, horizontal bodies in the front frame the gys face. I like that his face is dark in all that sunlight, makes him stand out. I like the communication between him and the girl in front with the pony tail. What would make it better?? Duh, loose the other guys, but that's just faantasy.

Nice picture and nice composition but does not meet the spirit of the challenge to me. An other week 7, this week 5

Girls at the beach....(could you have asked the men/boys to leave?)
Very nice. I am assuming the woman in the blue bikini is your "main" subject (I think her man companion has his eye on you...) and hopefully not the blonde standing/walking (she is too shadowed). 8 Swash

This is too much candor for me. The picture lacks focus, but it has a good atmosphere.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
09/04/2002 05:06:00 AM
A very good idea, however, this is a bit too "crowded" for my taste, you have not singled out anyone. Concentrating on a smaller part of the beach would have helped a lot more.

The guy by the girl in the blue suit looks like he's glaring at you for taking a picture of his girl.

lacking a single point of interest.

My husband says he'd give this one a 10! I like the photo generally, but I don't think there is anything to focus on, other than the waves. I would have preferred to see more emphasis placed on one particular subject. lhall-7

nice timing, too bad it is hard to see his beady little wandering eyes.

nice shot. captures the essence of "candid"
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Meets the challenge but imo is too busy with no real focal point. Also a little on the dark side. Grayce 5

if you can get that many good looking babes in one shot then you deserve a higher score

I'd be "checkin' it out" too! :)

Kinda like south beach? Natural light is always good, your framing is good and this is quite the candid shot...
