Default Warm morning

Just a little fix on a simple beach picture. Make it a little warmer, and a little clean up.

Nice, I like the golden beach color you achieved by warming it up.
I also love that shadow on the bottom of the image on the beach. Is that a vignette, or did you do something special?
(Nice composition as well )

maybe its just my screen, but i think the second photo looks a lil blown out. like its been overexposed. were we trying to brush out the boat as well? you can barely tell where the water ends and the sky begins on the top left corner of the picture. a suggestion if i may,.....lighten just a tad, up saturation just a tad, and then warm it. i barely use any pp software, tho i have it. most of my stuff i do in picasa. but thats jsut my two cents.

Thank you for your thoughts. I wasn't sure when you say "lighten just a tad", but earlier you said it's overexposed. I wasn't sure maybe you meant lighten up the bottom part?

I like the gradient from bottom to top and I don't think it looks blown out at all. Very nice!!

Thanks guys, so I guess it's not blown out but the monitor itself then. :-)
