p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Huntington Beach Pier - a few different takes


Here are a few takes of sunset at Huntington Beach Pier.

I like No. 3 the most but it appears a little unbalanced because there is nothing on the left hand side. Something like a little clump of kelp as in Take 2 would make the framing more balance, imo.

Would love to hear your comments and thoughts. Thank you for your time.

Hey Maji,

#1 is my favorite. You got the sun lighting up the clouds nicely. As for seaweed, maybe it's just me, but I have learned that for as cool as the seaweed looks in person it rarely looks good in photographs and ends up being a distraction more than an asset. At least that's my take...

Thank you Jim for your comments. I think I am starting to see your viewpoint on seaweeds, but they are so much fun to photograph

Nice set Maji. #2 is my favorite for the composition and wave action. The shadows look particularly dark for me on this one so I would lighten that up just a little bit. It might make the seaweed a little more palatable too.

Maji,

#1 for me. I like the comp and the lighting. Excellent series but #1 stands out for me. I agree with Jim on the seaweed, it's really hard to work it in there unless you can rent a starfish

Maji,

I think if you look at this set for a while you will be able to determine which one you like the most and best represents your experience at that location. It's only your choice that I'm interested in. Rather than participate in a multiple choice decision, I'd rather just see your favorite one and enjoy it. To me, seeing three nearly identical images simultaneously dilutes the pleasure.

Thank you guys for your kind words and time.

Jeffrey,
I really can't decide and that is why I piled it high here Thank you for your comments as it will make me decide and be more choosy while posting.
