    Nice one, looks well sharpened-
    I think that less saturation in the sky might be better,
    might give more prominence to the grass-
    Good light-

    This is a cool shot, not what I expected from the title (wheres the beach dude?).

    The sky looks nearly too good to be true, so maybe reign it back a bit?

    The other thing that trickled through my mind was a high contrast B&W conversion?

    Regardless though, I love it!

    I’ve come back to this a couple of times,
    It’s a fine shot alright,
    The sky wouldn’t be a problem for me,it gives a nice contrast to the golden grass colour,
    But, and it’s a small But, I can’t help thinking a step or two backwards might have made a slightly better composition,
    I get the feeling that the first pole is a little cramped into the frame.
    Overall though, it’s a fine effort.

    The fences are interesting, particularly with their similarity to the grass, but for me the shot is over-processed – too vivid and sharp.

    I like this shot , in particular the contrasting softness of the sky against the hardeness of the shapened grass/fence. Nice shot. When I saw 1st I thought it would be a nice B&W shot so took the liberty of converting. Think it stands up well in B&W

    oh yea !

    love the composition Peter, well thought out!
    I think the mono shades it for me just ahead of the colour.

    well done

    Hi Peter,

    I love this type of photograph.
    I like the colour but I think it suits a mono conversion.

    I tend to agree with Paul that including more of the foreground pole might have been better.

    All in all it’s a lovely scene and I photograph I’d be very happy to have taken.

    Well done.

    John.

    i agree with the above it certainly lends itself better to a mono conversion.

    I hear you all, but i’m still sitting on the fence with this.
    So i decided to meet you half or at least 1 quarter of the way. :wink:
    Maybe I need more time.

    Hi Peter

    Really like this one and its colour for me. Maybe the first ones foreground with the less saturated sky from the last one.

    Same here, i agree with Paul, if the first post was full in the frame it would sit better balanced
    Fine effort
