Damn - forgot to hit Reply List...hope this gets it back on track.
I think it was better with the water included. It needs the wider view
to emphasize the line of the rocks leading to the water and loses
something with just the rocks and sand.

Larry,
I like this a lot, but agree with Rick that you should crop out some of
the sky. I liked putting the horizon about 1/3 down from the top, but
you need to be content about losing the 3:2 aspect ratio - don't take
anything off the sides.
Thanks Paul. After Rick's post I slightly tweaked a copy to trim the
little bit of water (actually a creek, not the ocean) out of the top:

Larry, that's beautiful. The curving line on rocks and the quiet beach
are very tranquil;, the pools with the blue reflections are very
intriguing.
My only suggestion would be to trim a bit off the top; the thin strip
of ocean is distracting.
Thank you very much. I struggled a lot with where to crop the top of
that one, because when I trimmed the top like that, particularly if I
kept the 3:2 aspect ratio, I lost a bit more of something else.
Cheers,
Rick

commented
positively about it on flickr, so I thought I'd give it a try. I
cropped a
lot out of the original frame, so there's a lot of latitude in
re-composition.
