Which one?

[Hugo Zhang]

I took my son to a birthday party at the Huntington Beach last weekend and used Tri's tripod holes for a couple of shots. It was windy and I didn't expect them to be good. But they have turned out all right. I could not decide if I like verticle or horizontal better.

Any opinions?

Thanks.

Vertical, the horizontal feels like it's crashing in on my head.

Horizontal, so that it crashes on Greg's head.:D

Horizontal, so that it crashes on Greg's head.:D

OH Domenico....;) ;) :D

I like the horizontal, even if it doesn't crash anyone's head.

This could be composed in any number of ways. I sort of like this rendition.

[Baxter Bradford]

That's the way I'd do it too Donald. The pillars at the edge make it far stronger.

No knowing Greg, so cannot assess desirability/suitability of cranial damage.

Landscape for me-
though, as we're being unusually critical,
I might have preferred to see it cropped at the column on the right-
just as Donald has done-

its a little too bright over there-

Horizontal, but mainly because I like the waves and sand better in that shot. But I do like how the vertical shot looms over and emphasizes the vanishing point. So either, both and combinations of the two. :-)

You went to the beach at Huntington Beach and all you came back with were pics of the pier???? :)

Vertical, with cropping a'la Don Miller

Thanks, everyone and a special one to Don! I will end with a 6 x 7 1/2" print, not a bad ratio at all!
