I went to Naples, FL to photograph the last partial eclipse ofl the sun. It was a good exercise. The photos were technically good, but less than artistically inspiring. Leaving the pier, on the way to the car, I glanced back toward the beach and saw this opportunity. Your comments welcome.
I like this.
Beautiful use of colour. It just oozes tranquility and peacefulness. I can almost hear the sounds and feel the warmth.
Love the almost silhouettes of the people, especially the girl on the left.
But I think the blurred seagull detracts.
For a more balanced composition I'd prefer the top trimmed a bit to get the horizon away from the middle of the photo, placing it the same distance from the top that the sand line is from the bottom, and a fraction off the left so that both girls are the same distance from their respective edges of the photo.
