Took this one a couple months ago on an island off the coast of Haiti. What do you think?

I really like the composition and colors. A pleasant view. digit-up

Very nice.

Hmm. A great shot, perhaps I would have framed it a bit further to the right...

aleonx3 · 06-09-2015, 07:11 AM

I like this one; and I agree with the previous poster about moving the frame a little to the right. It would have been a bit more interesting if there were a small boat or people appearing in the scene (to give a sense of scale). A good shot and I like the idea of shooting from the inside the cave.

Thanks for the suggestions! I just wanted to highlight the colour of the ocean and draw the eyes to that as the subject. I actually think this was cropped slightly, so I'll try bringing it over to the right.

Don't worry, it's a beautiful shot. If it is cropped you could perhaps play around with the dark/black parts of the cave acting as a margin for the colourful parts of the cave and the sunlit outside world.

Good shot. I like the low light on the walls. The composition works for me.

I really like the shot. I totally get what you are trying to achieve. The color and exposure are spot on. I would like to see the version with the crop showing a bit more of the right side and a slight tweak to the horizon is all I would suggest. Other than that I really like it.

Beautifull photo. I agree with comments about the right side, but even thus this is a great photo.

magkelly · 07-02-2015, 05:20 AM

Pretty enough that I'd use it for wallpaper if it were bigger. I have a thing for sea scenes, and that is NICE...

I offer additional applause for the image plus another vote for a bit of extension to the right -- largely because of what I call a notch at lower right.
