Hello!
I have been interested in photography for a couple of years now, and I consider myself a well-seasoned amateur. I know plenty about technique and I can also tell what makes one picture better than another - except when it comes to my own... I have a very hard time assessing my own work, and I feel like it is possibly not up to par with my expectations.
And this is why I am here now! I am hoping you guys could help me out evaluating this picture. It is one of the pictures I feel has the most potential out of the bunch I took during my holiday this summer.
What I am looking for is mostly opinions on how the composition could be improved. I realize the weather could have been better (it always can...
), but aside from that I'm not sure what the image is missing.By the way, the reason as to why I decided to wander off from the trusty rule of thirds was because the sky and the ocean left to what's included here was very bland, and the negative space was too much for my liking. I'm not sure if I actually would have panned more to the left, even if the sky was more exciting over there, to be perfectly honest. I would love to hear your opinions on this specifically as well!
So, finally to the image:
Thanks in advance fellow Pentaxians!
(For those of you wondering, the picture was taken on the northern coast of Poland, outside Kolobrrzeg!
)
Edit: Forgot to write about the equipment: This was taken with the Pentax K-r and a Samsung 12-24 F4 lens (it's the pentax lens only rebranded), and of course a tripod!
