These two girls were playing in the surf at Baker Beach (just south of the Golden Gate Bridge).

The colors really work here and the girls in silhouette are great. What if you try a crop to move them off center? I don't think you will lose anything and an off center composition might add interest.

Great shot!! I agree about maybe cropping it a bit to move them off center. Even without doing that I LOVE it!!:clap

Thanks for the comments, everyone! I'll experiment with different crops, but I'm inclined to leave it as it is. I like how the patterns of the very brightest light (from the top, bottom, and sides) all point toward the center of interest (the girls). That tends to give your eye pathways to explore the whole picture. In this particular case, maybe the "rule of thirds" can be broken for a center-oriented composition.
