82 Jan 23 Comment Prasad,

Thanks for your feedback. What is the basis of you recommending the alternate exposure settings? Note that I was on the balcony of a moving cruise ship when I took this shot. I did not have a lot of time to set up a tripod (if I had one). I had set my camera in advance and took several hand-held shots at the same exposure setting.

Keep in mind that this was shot at 33MM, so I am not sure how much more DOF I would have gotten if I shot it at F8 instead of F4, 1/13 second, ISO 1600. That being said, this image is incredibly sharp when looking at it on my 4K monitor.

I will have to research the Spot Healing tool in Capture One Pro a little further. It is there, but I am not sure it has the option to increase the canvas size and add pixels like in PhotoShop.

82 Jan 23 Comment This is a really very beautiful image. As someone else commented, I could almost reach in and touch it! Your composition, in my opinion, is perfect, and the bubbles around the orange slice add depth.

I see you shot this at 50 MM (full-frame, APC, or other?), but this almost looks like a macro shot.

Awesome job!

By the way, I also thought it was a lemon slice. But looking at it closer I can see it is an orange!

82 Jan 23 Comment This is a very interesting and beautiful image! It almost looks like a painting.

I am not sure if this was intentional, but the slight bokeh in the background really makes the cranes stand out!

This is definitely one you want have hanging in your home.

Thanks for sharing.

82 Jan 23 Comment Beautiful landscape shot! The sky is indeed spectacular.

Might I suggest you crop the lower left foreground to focus mor on the Sky and Hills, while still leaving some of the water in the shot.

82 Jan 23 Comment Andrew,

I fully concur with your assessment. This is one of those images that every time you view it, you find something you had not noticed previously.

I really love images like this one. Awesome!

82 Jan 23 Comment To All,

I agree with your comments regarding not leaving enough room at the top for the statue on the hill. As you can see, my error was in my original composition. When I cropped this image, my focus was to eliminate some of the water in the foreground.

For everyone's edification, I have attached the original shot.

Thanks.
