Nice scene; good colors; great focus; like the contrast of blue, browns and green; love the hint of the ocean on the right; would have liked a bit of life or movement but that's OK. Thanks for sharing.

A beautiful low level picture looking over the beautiful white sands of Sennen beach just around the tip of the Cornish pennisiular to the north, the tide receding leaving wet sands in it's wake with the sky reflected on the wet areas high flying clouds speeding across the heavens. Artistic composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.

    Many thanks for your nice and supportive review. I should point out though that the shot is NOT of Seenen Beach, but of Whitesands Bay, nr Plymouth, Devon.

This is a fine well balanced capture Nik. Your POV is superb showing a fine view of the blue sky and soft white clouds.
Great angle, fine vanishing like perspective, controlled white balance, sharp focus and fine details.
Lovely to view!
Nice work Nik ;)

What a beautiful composition! Sky, beach, and mountain are well placed. Eyes are pleased by the placement of elements. The image is clear and clean. Sky and sand look very enjoyable.

Well done and thanks for sharing.

This is a beautiful capture of this beach. I like your perspective on this one. Nice beautifully sky and cloud formation. Nice movement in the water and nice long vanishing view point. Colors are nice and compliment each other. I like the angle of your shot. This is a beautiful scene and beautiful place. A pleasure to view! Thanks for sharing!

A serene landscape with fine brown sand without distracting rocks in sight. A perfect place to jog!
The horizon is almost centered.
Since the mountain & clouds are heavier for this composition, we can crop a bit on top to balance the image.
Subtle illumination.
Sharply focused. Good perspective & long depth of field... Thanks for sharing...

I just love the simplicity of this scene, and the truly lovely light. I also think you have captured so well the wet part of the sand, and the fine shine and reflections around the rocks.

Your photo is also crisp and clear and it fine details and textures to be seen in the rocky area. The all over exposure is very good, but the clouds on the right are probably very closed to be over exposed.

The format and framing works well, and even if the photo is almost divided in the horizontally, I think it is a fine balance in the composition. A truly lovely and well taken photo, and with a very good DOF.
