Minimalist of a beach

I went this morning to the beach for the sunrise and there was well there was no sunrise because of a storm. but I got some nice shots of the sand and the water.

While these are both interesting and I usually like a landscape crop better, the second image seems to have a little something extra. I love it. I think the longer crop allows for a great pattern in the water. The people are a great accent here too.

Thanks Ruth

While I know you're thinking of minimalism here, Jeremy, I think the figures do add something very worthwhile. And, like Ruth, I find the second one most satisfying - something to do with the gradation of the sand patterns from the foreground blobs, becoming finer in the distance. I also like that relatively large expanse of water, which adds to the minimalist feel, and has an airy quality for me. Good job!

Thanks Chris

One of the few "rules" that I was taught way-back-when that served me in pretty good stead was that a good print contained a pure black, no matter how small, and a pure white, also no matter how small. I've always found that ignoring that was perilous. Of course, I have ignored that rule often enough along with the "rule of thirds," but they are worth keeping in mind.

Hi, Andrew, do you think this is a better edit?
