Sharing couple of images taken during my visit to Santa Cruz. Visited state beach to photograph Natural Bridges at sunset and was lucky to have some nice sky. I was tempted to clone out the people in one image but I think leaving them in there adds to the image. Would like to know your thoughts are on that.
I think the people are great, but the whole photo feels a bit... lopsided? Just cropping a bit off the right would improve it, I think. I love the silhouette of the birds in the second.
Both really nice images. The big human and the little human in the first image really elevates the picture. Creates a very nostalgic feel for me. I agree with the cropping comment above though. Second image has great light.

The splash of light on the rock in the second image is marvellous.
Good composition in the first image. The people add to it, yes. Now if there had been separation between the two, it would have been even better.
Thank you Rajan!

Jung thanks and glad you liked it. Yes, the splash of light on the second image is what makes it special. Appreciate the comment.

I like the higher shooting angle. Is it from the rocks at the right side?
Yes, you are absolutely correct. The first image was taken from the rocks where the tide pools are located.

Thanks Derric, appreciate the feedback and will crop the first image and repost. For second image I really had to get close to subject as there were too many people and I was didn’t have time to switch lenses. Thanks 🙏

The first image with people is also my favorite. It is a wonderful, and peaceful image. I agree with others about a little trimming on the right.
Thank you all on your feedback about cropping the 1st image. I have cropped it and reposted the 1st image. Appreciate the feedback. Thanks

The scale shown with the human element in the first photograph is outstanding!
Tank you and you are quit right about the scale of subject with human element in the image. Also, I think that shooting from higher vantage point adds to the image. Thanks for feedback and comments.
