Beach Photography

I did a pretty fun shoot with a great family the other day! Here is one of my favorite pictures from the shoot! Thoughts?

#1-- tilted

#2

#2-- I cannot do anything about the foot, but is the angle better?

#3-- Maybe you will like this one better ??

All I did was crop this one, does anything particular need to be done to it?

Tilted horizon and you cut off his foot Also there is a bit too much vignetting for my taste.

Oops, but thanks! I just love that he looks like a little surfer dude, and we aren't even in California!

 

[MissCream]

Yeah he looks super cute!

i like it, the tilted horizon doesn't bother me as much as the kid's foot is cut off. looks like it was a fun day.

It was a little hectic...6 kids ages 2-8!!

The watermark is positively huge, and it distracts quite a bit from the image. Will the client images have that giant mark on each one? Or is that just web protection?

 

[pkae1989]

oh, of course not! I won't give my clients anything with a watermark on it

I always do!

I have low res copies of the pictures that I give them with my watermark to post on Facebook or wherever.

That's a good idea I'm still learning! You don't give a cd of high res?

It looks like you don't have surf either. The water is still draining out the left side of the photo.

The main subject seems to be the cool graphic on the skim board.

I'd help, but you don't allow edits.

I do if they buy it for extra

I usually just get them to buy prints that way I can crop it however I want because of the different sizes, if I leave the client to do it then it won't end up being what I want my work to look like.

Man, I envy you guys with "big boy" cameras and nice scenery! Lol

I would still straighten it more....

Im new to photography but having the cloud/sky element in the picture I liked. I know its tilted but when corrected there is no blue sky and cloud outline. It took away from the scene. Thats why I am the amatuer, but I liked the original best.
