![Flinders Beach](https://images.naturephotographers.network/original/3X/7/8/7843022c2596248e1a8b90ecba0ae7537e1e44a5.jpeg) An early morning storm had just rolled through creating a beautiful light on the eroded beach. I was drawn to this scene by the light and the layers of vegetation from the banksia trees, through the bracken and onto the beach driftwood. ### Specific Feedback Requested Anything! ### Technical Details Is this a composite: No ISO 500 100-400@100mm Hand-Held f5 1/320 In ACR, Highlights moved all the way left, a touch of Clarity and Vibrance.

I really like this Glennie. The layers are terrific and I really like how the trees are leaning the same direction as the driftwood in the foreground. I don’t know that there’s anything I’d change at all. Well done. ---

I love how the lighter treetops are reaching up into the darker sky, and then it becomes lighter below, where the trees become darker. The multicolored mid-ground is very interesting to explore and the littered beach tells a story. I wonder about darkening the sand just a bit??? ---

Ooh, very nice! The colors are subtle, but rich. The balance of the layers of vegetation is wonderful. I like the lighter sand on the beach because it contrasts so well with the downed branches. If you want a tiny nit-pick, I might burn down that farthest right upright tree trunk because it’s so close to the frame edge. ---

This image has to be viewed large to really appreciate all the different layers and details in this scene Glenys. I am also enjoying the color palette with the earth tones, greens and blues. Very nicely done! ---

Thank you all for the kind comments. Bonnie, that’s an excellent idea about “that” tree! I was of two minds whether it should be cropped out, but burning it down is just what it needs. Diane, also an excellent idea. The sand needs to be tamed…just a little. ---

I quite like this. The subject matter is very interesting and full of possibilities.
