Not bad, not bad at all. I would definitely clone out what ever is floating/swimming in the water. That would include what ever that is in the sun's reflection.

Then, for fun, I would try one without the people, just to see how it looks.

Well done.

Also - why does someone post allways post a breathtaker like this just at the same time I post something. Last time I posted, the "Just a Bubble" shot got posted and no one EVER saw my post.

Also the airplane!

I would probably crop the picture like this.
I also adjusted the curves a bit in PS.

I'm a real sucker for these type of photos I agree that the stuff in the water ought to go, but I'd keep the beach and the people on it. I think it adds to the romance.

Well done!

PS. Lighthunter - You are far to observant! I really had to look before I spotted that plane.... or perhaps its all the crud on my screen

thanks for the comments everyone.
i did edit it as adviced(to the best of my photoshop knowldge).

thanks for the edit lighthunter. i didn't want to crop out that little piece of beach land or it would've make the trees look like they're growing in water.

-and the plane. hehe, good eye.

here's the edit.

Can understand. I would then suggest to get rid of the black "spot" at the left edge above the piece of land.

hahaha. i'll leave that spot there as a tribute ti my faults.

thanks again, berto

I kinda liked it a bit better with the beach, but I would lose the people and the stuff in the water.
