| Stan Ashbrook | This is a nice tranquil scene. You should straighten the horizon. |
| Allen Gannaway | Palm trees and sailboats, two of my favorites. Making the horizon level wold also help the structure on the dock, which appears to be leaning just a little. |
| Bob Elliot | |
| Ron Alexander | The shot could not fit the title any better. What really sets this beach shot apart is the shade, in itself a synonym for tranquility in a sunlight beach. Excellent composition. Maybe the shot would be even better if a human head appeared above the sofa rim. But where is Brad Pitt when you need him? |
| Lynne Royce | I just want to walk over and sink into the sofa and feel the breeze and view the startling blue of the ocean. Like how the sofa is off-center and beautifully framed by the two palm trees. My only suggestion is to try to lighten and bring out the texture of the sofa. |
| Don von Wolffradt | Great image! That darn horizon line needs to made level. I would suggest cropping the foreground just enough to get rid of most of the bright foreground sand maybe halfway to the palm tree trunk on the left side. |

Monica Woodhead - Biography
I am a Customer Solutions Rep for a company that manufactures vapor retarders and various tapes for the construction, industrial, electronics, automotive and medical fields. I also maintain the website and create brochures for them. The majority of the photos used in our brochures, I have shot. I am married for 24 years, with a daughter and a son. I have had a love for photography since I was a young girl, driving my mother crazy with all the pictures I took. Back in those days it was a Kodak Instamatic. In 1984, I began using an Olympus manual SLC. After a few classes, I started to understand how to use it. In the early 90’s, I was given the Nikon 6006 as a gift. Moving into digital, I began with the Nikon D100. It took me almost a year to completely give up the film camera. I now use the Nikon D300 with various lenses, loving every minute of it. This year I have had to give up my last film camera, a Nikonos V. After 24 years, while diving in Aruba, it died. Before our next trip to Aruba, I hope to have a digital underwater camera. As a photographer, I consider myself to be an amateur with so much more to learn. I began using Photoshop about 4 years ago. Today I’m using Photoshop CS2. My printer is the Canon i9900. |
