Nice minimalist image... Thanks for printing and sharing!
 
This is going to sound weird but I bumped my mouse roller thing and the beach got cut off all together and wow.
 
This is a cool image. I tried what mark did and felt the same wow, but I like the original too.

I like your toning work on this.

How did you get those guys to sit so still for four minutes? Did you check them for a pulse? Should we call 911? :D (And since it appears to be two guys, they might have an issue with you calling them a couple...) :D
 
I like the feel of this picture. There is some strange vertical murky blue bands on right side and yellowness in clouds. Perhaps this is from a scanning problem, but picture would be much better without these artifacts.
 
I like the image and the toning. Don't feel anything "wow-like" when I crop the image, so please keep it this way...
I agree with Jon Shiu about the blue bands on the right side, though. No problems for me with the yellowness in the clouds.
 
Hey folks, thanks for all the comments.

re: crop out the beach, that looks good but then it's an entirely different scene of course. I might do more with this neg, not sure.

re: toning, blue bands, too much yellow highlights. Yes, that is not your imagination. I do not usually tone prints this extremely preferring subtle split-toning and also because often small defects show up when toned / bleached this much, even after a thorough washing. I once had the pleasure of talking to Roman Loranc at an opening and he told me that a percentage of his prints end up ruined, unsellable because the toning created some undesirable effects..

The beach on the right of the couple ( guy & gal BTW) is the normal expos. I dodged the beach to the left starting at below and left of the couple.
