Different people have different ways of finding thier calm.
I took a walk down Venice Beach on a Sunday morning with my camera (working on my calm )
I first found these two working on their calm.....







A little further down the boardwalk, I found these two, trying to work on their calm.

Yeah, they were able to change their sign after I took that shot.

Curious. I've shown that image for almost two years, and this is the first time anyone has noticed that. Myself included.
Now I'm going to have to edit it.

I would crop the bottom third of the first shot.

Maybe a little off the top also.

But don't lose the clouds.

Interesting. Bryant Swanstrom (swanny338) who is a student at Brooks School of Photography told me that shot was perfect the way it was.

Check post #8 for his comment.
I guess to each their own.
