I'm hoping all you masters might offer some advice I always learn a ton.
The feedback I received from my "West Coast View of Acadia NP" thread (https://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/1299954) was that the pictures I made here and Little Hunter's Beach had too much of an HDR look. Both are single-shot images. I understand and agree with the criticism of the Little Hunter's Beach photo, but am struggling to see "HDR effects" in this one.
I totally went for the reflections in this shot. Used a polarizer, and a 3-stop ND filter to calm the water. It was late morning and the light was turning harsh.
Maybe the "mistakes" were with the exposure? Taken with Nikon D800, Nikkor 18-35mm at 24mm, f16, 4 seconds at ISO 100. (BTW, I always check "Show Exif," and that used to work but hasn't the past few months for me).
Anyway ... I didn't open up the shadows as much, darkened the midtones a bit, and corrected the color in the second version.
Thanks as usual for comments and critique.
Best,
Glenn
