Cropped from a picture I previously posted here, suggestions for improvements?

I think the composition is great, the colour is nice. I think it would be better viewed as a large photo to really appreciate the colour of the parachutes. A tighter crop to get closer to the action might be an option but I don't believe a good one. Too much would be lost that makes this the photo that it is.

I wouldn't know what to say Bob. Your picture is beautiful. I think it is perfect for a poster

Ty Both... here's a link to a larger version:-

Larger version

I have it printed out 11*14.5 inches. I will be entering it into my second competition this week-end.

I trust you will have very possitive results! Good luck

It's very good, Craig - and gains significantly bigger from being printed larger.

Good luck!

Great stuff. The large on is excellent.

This print got a merit in the photo competition last Sunday.

!!!Congratulations!!!

Thank You The Judge was very experienced and was pretty harsh on some of the pictures there so anything above a 7 was unusual!

Everything looks perfect to me - I like the large version. Also like the soft sky, earth and water colors and the lighter horizon, and yet everything is nice and sharp, and eye appealing.

Good luck Craig... I think it looks great! The lines onthe beach add a nice touch...

Thanks Claire, I've tried a few times since to get better shots of the para-surfers, but it's impossible to get in close enough, and yet still get in both Kite and surfer.

I have to comment again, I like the warm tone in this image.

I love the tones in this image too. And I love the composition, with the two diagonal lines. I also love the different textures of sand, water and sky. Good luck with the competition!
