So, just for the sake of experimenting, imagine your same shot, taken at a very large f-stop (the focal length of your lens also has an effect) that puts only some  or part of the beach huts in focus.  The picture then becomes a little more "mysterious".  It's all a matter of experimentation, personal taste and vision.  You are to be applauded for using manual!  That's the best way to learn!</p></blockquote><p></p>
