I like it. I'm trying really hard to love it, but so far, I can't quite go that far.
Seems that everything is there - spectacular sky, those gentle curved waves (very cool!), the couple walking on the beach, beautiful mountains in the hazy distance.
But something just doesn't raise it that extra level for me, and I can't put my finger on it (but I'll try anyway <g>).
Is it that tree in the foreground? Maybe it's a bit distracting to me.
The couple is definitely a nice touch, but are they in the wrong position? I might like them a bit closer? Of course, I recognize that you didn't really have much control of where they were, although maybe you could have yelled, "Hey, get back here and walk hand in hand again, I want another take!!" <vbg>
Again, I want to emphasize, I really like this a lot. It has amazing potential. It just doesn't push me over the edge (as so many of yours do).
Now, I'll go see what the others have said (and likely look like an idiot in the process <g>)
thanks, Fred, frank

Back in February 2000 my wife & I had the great pleasure of visiting the Hawaiian Islands. One of the islands we visited was Kauai. This shot was taken one evening on the beach at the Radisson Kauai Beach Resort outside of Lihue. A warm tropic breeze was blowing, the waves were lapping the shore, and the setting sun was turning the sand golden. A perfect time for a romantic stroll on the beach .... but I was too busy taking photographs. Still I did manage to photograph another couple enjoying a stroll <vbg>
Hope you like it.
