sand beach rock lowtide

went out this morning to practise some regular old photography, shot twenty or so different scenes, waves, rocks, trees, reflections, cliff faces, swamp, shot some vid, etc. and so far i like this scene the best because it is the simplest. in hindsight it seems to have a bit of a jaundice that i'm not quite happy with? heres an aside: i used to practise to be a jazz musician, i spent years practising scales and technique that would let me forget the instrument and find the music, and this is how i try to approach developing a photo, whereby i try to play the sliders and dodge and burn, and sharpen and filter, and try to realize the scene as i saw it without regard for anything other than: do i like it. but the learning curve is so much more visually obvious than with the music i used to play. well i hope ya like it, and have a nice day- Nate from Maine Usa.
