the beach


i chose this photo for two reasons. first, there are some things about it that really work for me. the lines in particular. i love the patterns that the water makes, and i think that it is composed pretty well too, if i don't say so myself. second, i chose to show it for conversation's sake. i think that it is missing something. the point here is, this is an example of a photo that is missing that one, elusive little something that distinguishes a good photograph from a great one. what is it? i'm not sure. i'm thinking maybe some foreground interest. a shell? a rock? a person? or maybe it needs something else all together, perhaps the problem is in the background? what do you think?
