Nothing like a California winter...

What do you think?

Bryan, I really like these pictures. The middle one might be alittle too dark in my opinion, but great pictures none the less. The last picture is beautiful! I love how everything goes together. Good job.

Bryan,

Great job! Very beautiful, warm and 'friendly' shots that go together well!

Bryan this is a good one. Maybe it is just me, but something about the middle picture just doesn't seem right to me. Maybe it is because the horizon is in the middle of the pic. Maybe try recropping or cropping the pic to get the horizon about 1/3 up from the bottom.

Well hope this helps. :dunno

I also really like the pictures, but think the middle one could be improved. I'd like to see more of the boy, I think. And overall I think a little less white space would help the photos stand out. It's been gorgeous down here the last couple days, hasn't it! :) Great photos and a great entry.

Very nice photos. The middle one is cool, but I'd like to see more of the boy and less of the sand. I think I'd like to see the outside photos swapped too. It may just be me, but it bugs me when the subjects are looking/leading out and not in toward the middle. Perhaps I'm a bit OCD and didn't realize it... :twitch

I do like the photo of the bird very much. The composition on it is very nice. The same goes for the sunset on the pier. Excellent captures! :thumb

Any better?

Yes, much better. Now we can see his smiling face! Looks like he's having fun...and he can leap palm trees in a single bound! :D

Great series! :thumb
