What a great job you have done on all three. Keep up the great work as you do have it down.

I like the way you combined the 3 pictures into one. That's really cool. I am new to PP and really want to learn more. Now I want to learn how to do what you did. Wonderful end shot.

You did a great job Photoshoping (is that a word>) them together. I like the mood and composition of the beach and the sky, but you created lines that lead the viewer out of the picture - out the upper right side. And the bird flying in that direction makes it worse. My eyes wants to follow the bird right of the image. The goal of good composition is to keep the viewer's eye on the picture. My if you flipped the bird, so it's turned into the picture, it might be just what it needs.

Jay, thank you. My intent was to draw the eye towards the beach chairs. I do understand what you are saying. Here's the bird flipped.

OK, that doesn't work either. I agree the viewer should be directed toward the beach chairs. What's wrong is that big white patch of sky, between the bird and the edge of the image. It lets the viewer's eye go right out of the picture. You need to darken that section of sky with a curve toward the beach. Just hold your hand up at an angle from that light triangle poking into the clouds to the horizon at the edge of the print. Then look at the picture, starting from the lower left, and follow your lines of sky and horizon, and you'll see that your eye will go down to the chair much smoother.
Sorry if I am being overly critical, but when I show prints, I figure someone saying, "beautiful picture" doesn't help me. And it really is a beautiful picture. In professional photography judging, the scores are basically fro 65 to 100. A very very good image is in the high 80s. 100 or perfect is what we all strive for.
Also there is and old saying, some people go for blue ribbons, some go for the green ones(cash). Sometimes a perfect image may not be as sellable to the general public.
