So my wife and I and 20 of our closest friends went camping on the beach this past weekend. On Saturday morning I woke early and took the dogs for a walk on the beach. The overcast sky and the sunrise made for some very... interesting... lighting, and there were plenty of fun things to photograph. I tried to make the water the main subject in each, and break out of the "beach-ocean-sky" thirds photos that I usually take.

So: here goes

I hope this isn't too overwhelming a thread... I like each of these pictures, in a different way... which says "water" to you the most? Which is better composed? I really do like feedback and appreciate your input.

    Thanks kentwaller, I pushed the HDR as far as I could on that one. The best perspective was from about 9 feet so I held the camera up over my head.

    2a says water the most to me. 5 is a nice photo, but the structure stands out as the subject and I forget that the water is there.

    When you come to a door... walk through it.
    If it's locked... find an open window.

    Thanks Chris!
    I'm still working on these, I've got another version of 5 entered now but I'm still debating on whether to go with an all-ocean shot that fits the theme better.

    A good title for 4a is "You can lead a horse ..." :D

    I like that image a lot because it's not something you see every day.

    I agree with Mark. The horse one grabs my attention.

    So, the question really is, WHERE did you find horses sunbathing?
