Great advice
You are all giving me great things to think about which may not have occured to me until I was actually into the process of painting. I like the cropped version too, but feel it needs to show all of their reflections (which is such an exciting part of this challenge). I will do prelim tonal/compositional drawings to experiment with the horizon, too. The client wants me to bring in more blue in sky and water and more of the sand color (close to a pure yellow ochre). So I will be doing some color studies once I get an image as close as I can to what I want.
Alexandra I will definitely do as you suggest. I have a great camera store nearby which will help me with these negatives. I will post them when I can.
Thanks
Patty
