Description

Taken at the beach on holidays with my olympus 3.2 mp camera.
Originally taken in colour and transferred to black and white, added a border in the gimp & also adjusted the alignment of the horizon in the gimp.
Hope you like it.
Comments and crits welcome as always.

------------------------------------------
As a side note: I got a tripod for my birthday last month, and it's wonderful, I think it's 1.32 metres at full height, which means the camera viewfinder is exactly at my eye level, It's perfect. I did not use it for this photo.
__________
Side note 2: Any free, easy to use panorama making software you can recommend for me to download or even use as a plug in for the GIMP if you know of one, please PM me or just mention it in your comments. I have a panorama stitching thing with my camera software but it's really not that good.
Much appreciated, thanks!

It isn't? Oh dear this is so hard!
And darn, central horizon not on?
Ah well. I'm just learning.

Mistakes happen, I'll learn from them.
I appreciate the crits. ;-)

great one! The B&W is very nice. Gennerly speaking, a photo is more balanced with the horizon off center. if you try cropping as Carlos suggested you may like it better.

The mood is really wonderful, I can feel myself there as I view. Good work Marielle

I love b/w photos. Because of the landscape, this pic is very soothing. Great contrast. Perhaps lighten the water/foam, but not as bright as the clouds brightness. As for the "crookedness", I messaged you on the horizon placement. Hope you don't mind.

I like the bright sky and dark sand as they balance each other. The centered horizon doesn't bother me much in this shot as it's a good image.

Don't be concerned about your camera. It will serve you well. I used a 3.2MP Toshiba for the first few years at GFX and managed quite well. Keep shooting!

Very nice mood/composition indeed!
I think you already have enough suggestion and advice about fixing the horizon
