Karkeek Beach

Spent a little time at one of the neighborhood beaches as the sun was out. Funny about Washington, it does not matter what the temp is. If the sun comes out so do the people. I was there for a couple hrs and the kids where knee deep in the water building dams and sand castles....mind you it was 40* out. Here are a few from the evening as people lessened.

Very nice, Paul. I think I like #1 best, for the composition, but #3 make for a very nice silhouette as well.

Good set recording the Sunset, but for I like your last one, as there is some brightness at bottom of image to balance it more. The silhouetted person works well and is nicely positioned within the image, but I think I would had cropped off some of the sky as this would also put the horizon more on the thirds.

These are really nice, Paul. The sun rays is the 2nd and 3rd one are beautiful.

I love the 3rd one...the water, rocky beach, solitary person and the beautiful sun rays. When I was scrolling down I scrolled up from the bottom just a tad and clipped the image just below the sun rays in the water... for some reason it just pleased my eye like that. Regardless, they are all winners.

I like these a lot, Paul. I'm still trying to think what to say....all I can think is, we need Giannis on this one. Has anyone seen him, lately?

Thanks everyone, I have played back and forth with different crops, unfortunately they are giving me more trouble than usual. I like different crops of each and find something I don't like in each. Likely me being over critical....although it usually works out.

Here are the other two I kept from the day. Taken about an hour earlier.



What better to do when 40* but stand and realize you are a small fish in a big pond.
