I liked the grain in this one. Gives it a vintage feel.

Looks like a picture taken in the 1940's. Great processing.

@Marion: Thanks, that is what I was going for!

I think the kite is essential to the picture. It's just so perfectly placed and gives the perfect feel to this simple shot. Nice work.

@GJC: I agree. I would not like the picture at all if it weren't for the kite.

A definitely vintage feel, Tracey. This is a nice photo.

@Lorena: I know! Me too! The couple doing this at 5:30 in the morning were having a blast!

MadScientist from Düsseldorf, Germany

ISO 3200 - would like to have that too!
I like this shot, it has a really nice vintage feeling from old family photos, very nice!

@MadScientist: Thanks! Yes, it is nice to have such ISO. I have one more setting even higher than that, believe it or not!

Graham Russon from Cape Town, South Africa

Great shot, it really has an antique feel to it.

The framing is perfect, and the tone gives this image a boost.

Excellent, Tracey ... love the tones and the kite and the birds on the beach - just a beautifully composed shot. I like the framing on the white background, as well ... really works well with this shot.

Excellent image, Tracey. I really like the look of this. The low horizon is very effective as is the processing. And look what you can do with 3200 ISO with your Canon (and mine, as you've seen).
