EDIT 2009: After a couple of years, I have better artistic eyes. I've touched up some things (most notably the clouds) and made the chair so it looked more solid. The changes are also reflected in the print.
EDIT 2: So I made the shadow "warmer", added some texture, pushed the shadows, added highlights to the brain and the sunglasses, and made the sky brighter (more saturated). I'm pleased with the results, but no kidding, folks, that's it. Any other suggested improvements are going to have to wait for my next beach picture . I wanna do other things now.
EDIT: cleaned up a lot of stuff on the detail level, like the shadow, the chair, the brain, the surf, the clouds . . . what didn't I fix? The sand.
*Sigh* If only my real lapses of memory cold be explained this way. But no, when MY brain forgets something, it is most likely that the poor dear has been distracted by something else. Like a story or an idea for an artwork. Like this one.
It makes my head hurt thinking about all the sand it will track back in my head.....
