looks like every other hdr seaside i've ever seen. That doesn't mean it's a bad picture -- it isn't, i actually think it looks very nice -- but that it just doesn't seem very original.
That's one thing that I have a hard time with while taking photos, being completely original. Like, I'll see a scene, and it will remind me of a similar photo I've seen (most likely taken by someone much better than me). I'll try to think of a novel way to present the scene, but its very hard. I mean, yeah a seascape is pretty, but there are hundreds of thousands of them out there. It's not going to change the world. When I go out with my camera, I am looking for some shot that is completely original to me, and that will the world's collective consciousness. That's probably why I suck.
To finish this with an a bit of an analogy..yeah, you can learn to play music written by other bands and stop at that, or you can learn to make your own and be truly creative.
