Thanks for looking

Nice dramatic photo - has it been enhanced in Photoshop?

Well a sharpen / crop and s shape in curves, but ND filters brought the tones out

I like the compostion, is it a Lego man, he seems very 'edgy' or is it just the compression ?

Its those iron men at Crosby beach - got bits of sealife growing on them which makes them "edgy" - the ones above the tideline remain "untouched"

Like the idea, good capture. Beautiful colours and tones

This is good, lots of appeal, but I wish, oh how I wish you had taken a few steps to the left to create a tad more space between the statue and sun, I think it would have resulted in a stronger composition?

It's the red tips on the sand in the forground that I find appealing.

Very nice indeed

Thanks for the comments and yes will consider the step back approach next time I get the chance that is a very valid point and one of those things that when into the viewfinder I tend to forget - got a set of nd filters and they do help with the likes of the highlights on the sand etc

the horizon looks distorted and i dont like the way the figures torso almost gets lost in the sand, perhaps a lower POv would have helped with this.

thanks for sharing

An apt title for this pic. would be "The Man From Atlantis"
Agree with Les McLean, both the man & sun are "too central" & would look better if there was more of a gap between both.
I posted a similar pic. "A Break from Fishing in the Sunset" a few weeks ago & have learned from C&C in that my stand & rods were central in the pic

Lucky I had another shot with my "Gear" more to the left.I hope this helps
