From the point of view of metaphysics this technically good shoot a little bit eklectic, imho. What is your message here? What means quite sky with clouds - and rocks, combined together? Regards, Serge
Very beatiful, Steve. Oh, what a wonderful places I see at Usefilm! I whish I could take one week at every place I see. Nice place and nice photo, Steve.
Wonderful muted colours. Flawless placement of the ND grads and perfectly controlled exposure. I really like the reflection of the sun in the water. I can see the image that Vince sees without the rock. But, I think the shot works better with it. In fact, I would prefer cropping a bit off the bottom so that the rock and the sun balance perfectly.
Lens distortion is a pain to correct. I usually try two things. The cheat method. Marquee where the horizon is. Click and drag to cover the other layer. Blur the pixel where they meet for a more natural look. Or, the painful method. Put a grid on and marque vertical portions and selectively transform each part. Skew is usually best for this. I did this one quickly to see what I'd get. Hope you don't mind my changing your image. I am waiting for my shots to be scanned so I am a little bored.
Another good one Steve. I am normally more attracted to colors, but I do like this. The calmness of the ocean is what takes me far out to sea with this shot. Looks like a fine mist is way out there as well. This one could possibly do without the rock on the left, (cover it over with your fingers to see). Or possibly lighten it up some. I have taken a few tilted horizon licks, this is not bad at all. Nice shot.
