NSFW Moody evening at the beach - uncropped

[ashishtamhane]

We were returning back from a day at Camber sands when we got down at Cooden beach. It was late evening and the Sun was rapidly setting down. I managed to get a few shots before it got dark.

Then at home tried to process it in a bit different way, sort of a moody image. Darkened the background and colour graded the highlights.

Comments and critique welcome. Thanks for looking.

If you think that's NSFW you've led a sheltered life

Best to keep it safe, especially at work.

Absolutely

Just my personal taste but somehow I don’t feel the square crop suits the image. You have the light from one direction with the model looking towards the light.

I was a bit undecided about the crop too. There is a uncropped version which I will post shortly.

Just looking on the phone now. If were to crop, it would be at the top, leaving the large negative space below.

If I was to crop, it would be a wee bit off the top and bottom and also the left to take the model off centre looking into the image.
