Yesterday evening I took the following at Birling Gap, East Sussex. Low tide was an hour after sunset and we are planning to go back tomorrow when low tide is about 3 hours after sunset. I am hoping the rockpools etc will still be revealed in time. I would appreciate some C&C that I can try and act on tomorrow! (Used Grad ND4) TIA.

I like the top one best - but I'd like to move the sun over to the left so it balances the people.

Do you know, that icon makes it look like you're being sarcastic.

How to move the sun: You use your eyes, brain and feet (in that order) to move yourself around and point the camera in a suitable direction to get the best composition.

Gave it another go last night. The tide wasn't out anywhere near as far so I used a slightly different foreground. The sand flat wasn't exposed so there weren't any people around either. Used Grad ND8 this time.
