It’s over cropped! Tones are great but composition really needs some attention

What would you have framed differently?

Missing one of the most interesting parts of that photo tbh (the wave). I'd personally crop in less

What wave? I think that's just sand

Or ya the sand, whatever that element is i think should stay in frame

I like this a lot. I think it might also be interesting in the original colour, or some variation of very muted tones. One of the rare times I really like such an aspect ratio in a photo, really trims off extraneous elements that don't fit with this part of the image and gives a sense of the size an emptiness of the landscape that having sand in the foreground somehow truncates.

Super moody love it

Love this. Kind of liking the original a little more than the crop - I like the texture of the water over the sand and the isolation of the figure. But either way, very nice work.

I quite liked the green tones in the before. It was really mysterious. also it would be nice to have a little it more beach in the foreground
