Me at Sunset

Thanks all.

The original or the one with more sky are my favorites. It looks like you have a wall hanger there.

Thanks. I am thinking to print the original on 20x40... Still looking for some affordable frames...

I like the original, I would print it but....

did you try to straighten the horizon line just a bit? perspective correction and/or lens correction

The composition is not that balanced. You have more water on the left side. When/if you do that corrections then it wont be that visible.

good capture!

The horizon is as straight as I can see. I am basically drew a straight line on Lightroom. Maybe the wave comes in more on the left side giving the perspective that the horizon isn't straight. I did also corrected the wide angle perspective/distortion on Lightroom best to my eyes.

Thanks.

Sweet work. The colors are nice but it's the silhouette and reflection that make this a memorable shot. Well done by you.

A couple of hints. I think I like the shot with more of the sky. I get the temptation to center the horizon b/c it's not as if the sky or the reflection is significantly better over the other--they're both attractive in their own rights. And, as for photographic composition rules, as that great photographer and pirate Captain Barbosa once said "they're more like guidelines really." But when I look at the original, my eyes are drawn to the horizon and they go left and right (not up and down). Also, I'd make two small edits. Erase that rock or footprint off to your left--it's distracting. And I do think I'd follow the hint and remove the refinery on the right side of the horizon.

But even as is, it's a beautiful shot that would be appropriate hanging in any house or office space. Well done.

Thank you for your inputs/comments. Here is the edited version. It looks better with those removed.

Very nice shot! You have me a great idea for my future beach visits... I like the 3:1.
Since you were liking the symmetry, What about a square photo with you directly in the center?

I don't like the square photo of this pix. It doesn't give much impact to the pix. I want to give viewers a wider range... kinda making the ocean and sky with an infinite feel to it or greater feel of space.

Wow this is beautiful! Can't put my finger on which crop I prefer but I'll let you decide on that I agree with BrickHouse that I'm a little distracted by the oil platform in the background, maybe it's an irony thing - natural beauty being overlooked by a dirty great oil rig!? Haha.
Either way, great photograph

I loved the first picture I love all the colours in the sky. It's a beautiful picture.

Definitely looks print worthy and hanging on your wall!
