Beach Art at Ocean Beach, SF, Nikon D100 w/85mm f1.8D
While eating lunch at the Cliff House, we saw this artist slowly drawing his work across Ocean Beach. I took this from a window of the restaurant.

This is good photo! What makes this picture work is the black wall at a diagonal in the photo. The sandpainting is graphic and has a oval shape and the wall balances that. The only suggestion I would make is to make the black border narrower. It's too wide and takes away from teh picture.
Interestingly, I'm new at doing borders, but I wanted to give this shot a black border in order to accentuate the black diagonal wall. So I arbitrarily decided on 20 pixels for the border. Perhaps that was a bit much :). Thanks for the feedback.

I love this photo.
Yes, the black wall really ties it together - I especially like the little bunch of people at its lower right end - it adds a nice balance to the large mass of the sandpainting.
I just read the above and wonder if I really know what I'm talking about ;-) but doesn't it sound good??
This image is just plain fun to look at!
I'd like to learn more about doing borders and frames in Photoshop myself (actually, I use Elements 2.0) I understand that you can download all sorts of Photoshop "actions" for frames, but I don't know what that means.
