Kirk, it looks to me that all the wood in the photo drifted on shore during a storm, after a long time in the surf. And I suspect that all stacked timber was arranged by people on the beach. The teepee shaped stack in the background may have been a shelter for some homeless people, but there were no human type objects inside.
This is all common along Oregon's Pacific shore line. |

Kirk, Very good image as-is. You mentioned that you added a little contrast - you hit the perfect level - so natural!
There is no major keystoning in the building, but it looks like some "parallelograming" between the front awning and the front support posts, as well as the awning and side wall. That can happen with a very wide lens, and it gets exacerbated with Adobe's "keystone correction tool". That can be corrected with Adobe's "perspective crop" in the PS base tools. But that can also happen when building age and then shift and sag!! Not a problem in this photo, but definitely correctable. |

Frans, I love the photo! It has a most cheery, feel-good character.
You absolutely need the foreground - right up to leafy plants and rocks. |

Kathryn, this image looks so natural! Like looking out a window. Nothing needs changing.
Just a comment. The whale looks like perhaps 100-200 ft away. If you mis-focus slightly, you can wind up softening the mountains in the distant background. At 70mm, f-5 with your full-frame camera, you can open up the lens a couple stops (e.g., f-8) without losing any sharpness to diffraction. I just get nervous about focus (at large apertures) and generally reshoot the image at multiple focus distances.
But you got beautiful results as-is! |

Scott, I love these kind of photos - keeping the view tight and no sky. Your composition is wonderful.
I wonder if perhaps bumping clarity (a la Photoshop) and/or contrast up might bring a little snap to the image. Perhaps using the "haze" elimination and "black level" could also do the job? |

Pierre, That's a beautiful photo! I'm surprised how well it worked with a thin shoreline and expansive lake and sky. That combo really makes it pop. Makes me reconsider my inclination to always crop out what some would call negative space. And that would have ruined it!
I think your composition is perfect. And the heavy blue sky and water emphasizes the city on shore. |
