    Default Coloured Sands

    This is an older shot, but I gave is a slightly different crop. I still struggled to with the foreground. I thought about cropping out the sand, but liked the bushes even less. Any thoughts?
    I like the dramatic sky, but it there too much, such that the main cliff is too small in the pic?
    The coloured sand cliffs are a tourist attraction the famous World Heritage Listed Fraser Island off the Queensland Coast. It is the largest sand Island in the world.

    For me AntZ, I think there's a bit too much sky in this shot, but I love the sand cliffs and the colours.
    I dunno if that is helpful or not, but I figured I'd share.

    I agree with the too much sky, from the title I would say the sand is your focus but you have included 50% sky that doesn't convey the idea. The sand is wonderful and that is your subject so show it off and clear out the noise.

    Yup, I'd say to cut down on the sky. Although, it really does add a touch of the dramatic.

    Yes, if you cut the sky quite a bit, it completey changes the focus of the picture and your emphasis becomes more on the cliffs instead of your eyes roaming up and down.

    Nice shot Antz, but you have cut the image in half, having half of it sky and half of it sand. The main subject is the colourful sand so in my opinion the sand should be taking up at least 2/3 or 3/4 of the image.
