p.1 #1 · what to do with this ?


hi there.

I kind of like this image although at 800 pixels it loses a lot of the detail that is in the 16.7 Mpx version. What troubles me is the vertically central positioning of the far shoreline. I've considered trimming a little off the bottom (which is blurred anyway) and left but that didn't seem to help much. Do you guys have any comments or advice to offer me on this one ?

Thanks in advance

- Alan

Alan,

Don't know - here's a shot at it but as you mentioned the foreground and tree at right are troublesome. I cropped and tweaked what was left...if you object, I'll pull the image.

For me it is too centred horizontally and vertically. I would go landscape and have the L of the building lead right with the building on left so it flows.

I think the 2nd crop is a good idea but a bit too much off the bottom.

OK so I thought maybe crop off the bottom and top and go for more the medium format proportion. Boosted the saturation a little bit too in the greens. Left the tree in because I don't want to chop off one of the boats.

It's a tough edit.

I don't know how to say this without sounding a lot meaner than I want to be......

There just isn't much of an image here. Not your fault; it's subject failure.

It's good that you saw the building reflection and thought to place it as you did in the notch in the shoreline.

Would look a bit more interesting in an orange sunset or sunrise possibly; mid day rarely helps anything.....

This sums it up for me. i would write down the location and come back during the golden hours

Agreed- if you have the opportunity I'd head back in the early morning or for sunset.
