Hengistbury Head Driftwood

[Stan]

Popped out to Hengistbury Head yesterday afternoon for the sunset, not as dramatic as the past couple of evenings but I did spot this large piece of driftwood with the light shining on it. H H in the distance

Nice tones and colours in this - I think the composition is a bit unbalanced, I find my eye drawn to the footprints which are facing back out of the frame. A portrait crop on the driftwood top to bottom of the frame would work better for me, leading the eye beyond to the horizon.
Cheers,

Thanks Peter
The footprints are mine as I was walking round to get the shot. It is a very large piece of driftwood and I wanted to try and balence the shot by including the Head and distant Isle of Wight in the background so the footprints had to stay. A portrait crop would probably make quite a good study of the driftwood itself - might try that. In the meantime heres a furtherv shot from a different angle which excludes the footprints
