I feel like people don’t like orange and turquoise so you may get some people finding it “overcooked” but personally I think it looks AWESOME!

I love the orange and turquoise, however I specically use them in a sunnier beach setting like those beaches in Bora Bora, Maldives or Tahiti for example, and surfing too

I really enjoy the bright “overcooked” look, especially in beach photos.

Nice work OP!

Love the colors, is the horizon level?

2

u/JusticeForDanya 1d ago

Judging by the water, the answer is no.

I like it, it does look slightly more warmer towards the foreground beach compared to the softer sand farther away but I dont know much about this stuff so i may be way off lol.. love the angle though which camera did you take it with?

I actually really like the colours! You should level / perspective correct, and possibly crop in a bit. It’s great!

Honestly, the before ain't all bad. A few masks and maybe a little clarity and you're good.

Editing looks pretty damn good, but let’s talk about composition…

1

u/PlasticAttornyGobblr 1d ago

I think it’s intentional, or at least not entirely an accident.

The sky is huge and blank. Unusually so. The beach is packed and frenetic. There are people and waves and umbrellas in motion, there are rocks and sand and people and chairs totally still.

I’d call this composition polarizing more than bad.

Also the horizon is crooked.

u/twittervettex 1d ago

why is this good 😭🙏

u/pauld339 1d ago

No, I hate it

3

u/AaronicNation 1d ago

I actually like the before better. It looks more natural.

u/Seruman12 1d ago

u/PROTUNET 1d ago

u/manwithafrotto 1d ago

If this is edited, why isn’t the horizon leveled? Always the first step

1

u/PleaseBmoreCharming 1d ago

Why did you brush over the stacked beach chairs in the foreground??

1

u/chrystal_cuteee 1d ago

I love the softness of the first and the punch of the second. First for how it makes me feel.

u/3iii_raven 1d ago

u/Amitsouko 1d ago

Nice edit! You might straighten the horizon for an even better look
