 * Comment Given that this appears to be a sunny day, any chance of bumping up the exposure so it isn't so dark? If the swell ever got high enough there it'd be an awesome place for a long exposure shot. Noodle snacks (talk) 10:48, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
 * You are right about a long exposure, it would have been a great image, except the trail to the beach is clossed due to safety conserns. It was way too weathered for me to carry a tripod there, and then come back after dark. I did not feel it was safe enough to go there at all, but I did anyway. Probabably some young men could have done it with a tripod and after dark, me not. :( Also one should remember that here in California we have lots of wild animals even in the city itself. The other day I took a short trail in San Francisco for a long exposure shot. When I was coming back to the parking lot I met a coyote and pack of Raccoon. They usually do not touch people, but one never knows :(--Mbz1 (talk) 12:24, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I posted an edit to the original. The alt is much better in brightness stakes but the sky is magenta for some reason. I've posted an edit of the original, I hope you don't mind. On the topic of the racoon attack, they were provoked: "when she tried to shoo them away from her central Florida home". I'm not sure that one would have trouble if you keep your distance. According to Coyote it is highly unlikely. The number of fatalities due to car accidents in your state is 100 times higher. I could worry about sharks whilst swimming or snakes whilst walking, but both are very unlikely. Noodle snacks (talk) 21:59, 16 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Support Alt1 As per Noodle the orig is too dark for me - this is much better... One question though, those redish stick in the foreground - on my monitor they look almost as if they are neon in appearance... Or is it just my eyes?!! Gazhiley (talk) 14:15, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I ajusted colors of the kelp. I hope it is better now :)--Mbz1 (talk) 16:04, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
 * You did that just for me?!! Awwwwwwww hehe... Gazhiley (talk) 21:35, 16 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Support Edit 1 Prefer the composition etc. I think the white balance might still need a tweak. If possible could you geocode the images? Noodle snacks (talk) 21:59, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Thank you for working on the image, Noodle snacks, and reasuring me about raccoons and cayote :) Of course I do not mind you editing my image. Yoa have added Commons FP template to it. With such a template please go ahead and edit each and every one of my images :) Geolocation is added.--Mbz1 (talk) 00:49, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

Right now. This is interesting. It's clear this is getting promoted, as there is a clear consensus for support, except it's a dead split between the alt and the edit. Advice? Nezzadar  ☎   03:28, 22 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Yep, leave it to a qualified closer, and watch and learn from what they do. ;-) --jjron (talk) 13:44, 22 October 2009 (UTC)
