Description
Shipbottom Beach. I had about 5 mins before I had to go and this is a culmination of two of the shots. It was not the orginal way I wanted to combine the two but I think I like it better this way.
Crit and Comments welcome. I know it's far from perfect.
9/25 fixed the text problem. I'm not to crazy about the fonts though. :/ Any suggestions? Or should I just get rid of it?

i love the use of the framing to break it up, but the black and thickness seems a bit too much.

Cool job combining the pics. Thought it was just a window from the thumbnail. The clouds line up well throughout. The waves and sand in first panel to the right doesn't match too well though.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
They aren't ment to match exactly. Just enough to kinda give you the sense of a scape with out the entire visual.

you should become a photographer. you truly have some beautiful pics and im really big on atmosphere. the colors are beautiful but that work is done by god hee hee. i like the layout of the three pics slightly seperated into three sections. ive seen a simialr effect in norway on a postcard but it had more sections.

This is a beautiful photo. It's interesting how you've divided it up, and the landscape itself is just superb

I look at your page and imediately this catches my eye... that's the best kind of featured deviation I guess!! :-P
Well, I've just got to say that this is a very creative piece. I like how you took the three pictures and cropped them so they aren't perfect, and are at different spots, yet they have the same horizon line. Not to mention the brilliant colors in the sky.. The blue and orange just make this a naturally beautiful piece. Very well done.

wow, a very very nice triptych. i love the darker-dusk colours of this, and the contrast between the sky and the land, a very awesome capture

This is a beautiful photo. I love the crisp feel of this sunset. It is also compositionally nice the way it is divided into a triptych. Very nice work on this.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
I really like the shot, and the triptych style composition reminds me of old paintings, but its something I dont think I have ever seen in a photograph. A big thumbs up fot that!
As for fonts, I usually find that going for a plain classic or contempory typeface works best for me. I use something like Arial or copperplate gothic.

Really nice scene.... I'd love to have a beach house overlooking a view like that, so relaxing. And are the lines supposed to make it look like it's the view from inside out a window?

I'd love to have a beach house there too. 
When I made it I didn't realize that it had the 'window' effect. If you get that feeling then yes

A lagoon? Well that's less attractive but still pretty cool, water around wherever you live is always nice. Anyways whatever effect you were going for with the lines was cool.

Ya it's not a pretty thing. But it's better than my real house which overlooks the massivly polluted Hudson River. [I think that's the name of the water 
Thanks though

I like the way you framed this. I have combined 3 pics in a similar way. They almost look too similar though, like they are from the same photo (except for the waves of course). You might try doing some kind of sequence, or something to set each of them apart from one another.

Yes yes, the ugly pixellated font is gone! Now I can concentrate on the great image

personal favorite out of your whole gallery.
freaking beautiful.
you most definately deserve a fav here.
i love how you separated it.
it makes it very interesting and unique.
awesome job!

IMO get rid of the font. Isn't needed, image describes it self beautifully.

This is so beautiful. It really does make me feel as if I'm looking out a window at this. I love that the three pieces are separate and don't completely match up--it sort of jolts the eye a little and makes this far less typical. Another thing that's fabulous is the way the center frame is larger than the outer two. That's especially uncommon to see, and it looks so cool. Gorgeous colors and lighting in the piece...I love that soft cloud above the water.
For some reason, whatever program you're putting the text in from has the anti aliasing turned off or something. Still, it's a gorgeous piece and a little bit of text doesn't change that. Great work!

I had written an extensive 4 paragraph critique for this photo only to hit submit and it telling me i couldnt due to read only mode -_- so now i must write it all again. i'll try my best to get back into the same state of mind.
First thing, you've chosen quite an odd layout for the three sections of photos. having three in general is an odd choice but one that i think actually works for you. splitting the image into three parts is not something one normally sees but you've executed it in such a way that it doesnt look out of the ordinary and it is still comfortable to look at. the addition of the wide borders and seperators in between each frame is something that i like. it breaks up the panels so it doesnt look too much like one image but keeps them close enough that there is a comfortable flow from one section to another. it also allows the viewer to get the feeling that they are looking through a window at the ocean. this adds to the surreal feel of the photo and gives the photo more personality.
you have definetly captured the layers of colors and shades in this photo. it gets lighter towards the center of the image and the colors flow nicely from light blues to pinks to dark browns. it gives the feeling of better thigns above and of the carefree dance of the clouds (that sounds odd i know). the layers are only accented by the predominant horizontal lines that show up throughout the photo. these lines give nice contrast as well to the round fluffy clouds at the top of the image making it seem less uniform and giving the eye a comfort zone at the end of the path. and there is a definite path for the eye in this piece. it moves from the center cloud which is the focal point up and around in a counter clockwise fashion, alternating from light to dark.
the lights and darks in this are well done, though i'm sure if you went back and brought out more color and contrast the image would look a lot better. the left section and middle section both have large dark shadow areas but the right most section is lacking one. another viewpoint perhaps would add more shadow and balance out the image abit more. balance is important in areas like light and dark, though composition is often better unbalanced. this is done well in the sense that each section contains almost the same elements but when put together they dont line up perfectly. this again brings out the non-manufactured/uniform look and makes it an easier to look at photo.
your obviously a very talented photographer (i especially like your photo of the girl skipping) and i'm sure with a little work you could become amazing.
o, one last thing that is the only thing i really dont like about your image. the typography is horrible. you can barely read it and it appears to be too pixely. i would suggest getting a more fluid smooth type for your next work.

The dreaded read only. How much I loath it myself...
Thank you for such a detailed and direct comment. 
Ah yes the typography. I hate it. Everything I do always sees pixally.

this is breath taking! something about this pic just.. stuns me, but oddly enough i can't tell you exactly what. but i do very much like the frame, it adds a nice classy touch

awesome photo job there. but if the one on the far left had waves the same colour as the other two photos, it would be even better. anyways, lovely shot there.

Nice detail and tones. One thing I don't like is your choice of font, really looks rough and weird. The framing is nice.
