crazy beaches there....ours have sand!
the first one is cool. both seem to be off in their exposure though...

Thanks, I think it works really well in b/w but only thought about it after posting:

hehe, it's a bit further out from the beach itself which strangely does have sand

the first one is cool. both seem to be off in their exposure though...

what is wrong? I'm still learning so any advice would be great thanks.

It's magic

I wanted to see how it looked without him as someone suggested that the photo gives a feeling of isolation. Turned out I preferred it this way. You can always see it here

there is a noticable dent in the horizon where you have removed the person, it shouldn't be to hard to fix though.

doesn't matter now...they both look great!
i think they originally looked flat to me. maybe it was contrast, not exposure.
again, doens't matter now...

Thanks ctranter I actually never noticed that until you mentioned it. Will fix it up in the full res version.
