I like where you are going with this just feel like you might want to make the ocean / beach pop a little more and the Hotel on Laguna Beach gets lost in a quick look
Thanks for the feedback and ranking. I haven't adjusted the colors on this variation, but I will work on going for more vibrancy in subsequent versions. I was going for the sort of misty, diffused-light look of a good watercolor, playing on the incredible number of beautiful colors that are present in a beach scene, but I can certainly try to get that high-sunlight clarity into the color palette for another take on the concept. Thanks again,
I like exploring the idea that, even though the coast is the edge of the Pacific, the landscape is so powerful precisely because, at times, the land, water, and sky visually become one. Instead of the sharp edge expected with the name, I want to show amorphous color boundaries.
