Taken on Crescent Beach, Siesta Key, Florida. A tiny bit of cropping, resized, sharpened, and then despeckle. Shot at a high ISO, because I really like the slightly grainy look. A pelican flies by and another bird in the back.

Beautiful picture, but it would really look better (in my opinion) without all that noise.

Great colour!!
I don't like the efect of the noise here. Or did you put a low resolution?
Otherwise it is a great photo!

Did you see the green flash? Nice timing on the pelican.

I really like the sky colors, the sun's disk and the silhouetted bird. I'm kind of ambivalent about the silhouetted person on the shore.

This is a nice photo. Unfortunately it looks like the camera couldn't properly handle the color or its been overprocessed. The sky has lots of problems. The guy at the bottom should've been posed a little different. Something to show his arms a little more. No offense, but he looks like he has no arms nor a neck. The idea is really good, I think you just need to perfect the details a bit.

Amazing composition, would have been a 10 if it wasn't for the medium-low quality of the photo: next time process it in NeatImage.

A great shot, composition exposure and timing spot on. Focus however is a tad soft
