This is a piece that has a lot of potential but does need a little touching up. I really enjoy the lines and contrast here. As you mentioned in the description, the bright house next to concrete is a really nice subject and certainly unique. You have a good eye for that, and the lines here with the concrete, rocks, and beach and well-placed.
The biggest issue here is the perspective itself, though. It looks a little snapshottish as you took the shot at a slight angle from the changing house. If you would shoot it straight on, the impact would be a lot greater. As it is now, with the viewer being able to see that slight bit of the right side of the shack, it doesn't look quite as professional as it could. The saturation is also up slightly high at first glance. The scene has enough natural contrast between subjects that there's no reason to boost the colors up any more, or, if they aren't boosted, they could be desaturated a little bit.
Overall not a bad shot at all, especially for a new deviant. Keep taking shots like this and look for the little things in a frame, and it could be a very nice scenic shot.
I wanted the colors to stand out, a create a better contrast. But I overboard, and as you correctly notice, I went overboard. I will give it another go, and see what I can come up with.
Oh I agree, and it was only until you and the others I realized the error of my way. As luck would have it, I actually have a chance on Sunday to retake the photograph. This will give me a chance of correcting the perspective problem, as the critique mentions.
So if the sun and weather is with me on Sunday, it will be replaced with a much better photograph. I will put the original into the scrapbook as reference.
Haha!! Thanks!! My family was staring at me funny cause I was all "ASDFGHJKOMIGODOMIGODOMIGODTARDISNEONTARDISONBEACHOMIGODISITINBADWOLFBAYOMIGODOMIGODTARDIS!!!"
