A day at the Beach

I want to love this pic, but I just can't get myself to. I feel like there is some highlight clipping blowing out the sand and other highlights, and that you over saturated the blues. But I personally like the composure you created although my eyes keep expecting to see more sand, if that makes sense? It may just be where the border and sand are nearing the same shade, idk. I really love how my eyes roll up the image in layers, nice job on that!

I take no credit for PP, just hit one of the presets in LR...and didn't play with it after that. Thanks for your critique.

This one I PP

I like the composition and the way you framed it. The blue clouds are very strange and they draw my eyes toward them. You might also have able to crop some of the right side off, leaving the girl on the beach as the obvious focal point.

Oh you should have left the original up I do like this version better, as best as I remember the original...
