Another "dizzying" shoreline photo. Again, I opted for superior subject matter instead of superior composition. More of Kauaii to follow...

There's nothing wrong with the composition except for the tiny puff of cloud. It's sort of distracting, so maybe cropping or cloning it out, or including a bigger part of it (if this photo is already cropped) would help.

Strong tropical colors.

Thanks for the comments.

Actually, I'm rather unhappy with the central line through the middle of the frame (which also isn't level). I kind of like the cloud...but I guess it is a little distracting. First thing I would do would be to rotate, but I don't want to loose edge area.

Composition looks great to me. I feel like I'm about to dive in.

The lighting and deep saturated colors are just stunning.

Super shot, the single version is better but this is quite close.
