Travis, I really liked the first shot of the beach (vacation), this one, to me, looks a little flat (but beach lighting often is). The lone palm frond hanging down in the top middle seems out of place too.

I wonder if the right filter would have jazzed the sky a bit more and added some better seperation in the sand.

I'm being rather picky... I'd say its overall a quite decent, but not outstanding image.

Travis, don't ever say that when you know your capable of much better. Apologizing for shoddy technique is a birthcry for stagnation. How can you make the shot better next time?

I really like it, though I would've cropped out the distracting branch at the top of the frame, or included more for effect. Good work. You obviously have a great eye for B&W. One I am still struggling with.
