    Oooh. I like playing with other peoples work when i get bored with mine:) I cropped the top down a bit, just down into the halo if the moon, I think it really helps the composition.

    A bit on cropping, I love to crop my photos! Some photographers say it must be full frame to be "true." All I have to say about this is tell a painter that they can only use one size of canvas, you would be laughed at, why is a camera any different?

    ...there's an easy answer for that. A painter knows the canvas size he starts with, very much like you know the image size of your chosen camera/film format, or image sensor.

    A painter then fills the canvas from edge to edge, according to his best artistic ablility and craftsmanship. He does not look at the painted image afterwards and decides that he'll just cut some of the canvas off because the upper right half turned out to be crud. Yet, that's what you effectively do with a cropped image - at the moment of creation, you didn't care much about what you were actually creating!

    Okay, now you owe me 2 cents :D.

    Definitely interesting light. That time of day seems to produce very surreal results given the right conditions.

    yes, very dreamy. I like it. Part of me wants there to be a stronger subject in the foreground though.

    I just love beach photos. Can I save this image to my computer to use a my wallpaper? Want to ask before I do. I usually change my wallpaper with the season so this would be perfect for this summer. Here is one I took last year. It's not the greatest but I like it.
