One more vote for Bill's cropping suggestion. I liked the overall sharpness of the image and your realistic processing. The sunlight valley in the background plus the line of the hill lead the eye to the barn which is a pleasant surprise and keeps the eye moving in the image. I might have left just a really small bit more space to the right of the barn. |

Colorful. Liked the shutterspeed decision to capture the waves. The water reflects the blue sky which also adds to the image. I think the sailboat makes the picture. The sky looks a little over processed to my eye; it looks like there might be a some artifacts around the top of some of the buildings and the clouds have a blue look. If you could get the clouds to pop white more, that would enhance the image. |

Almost all of my water pictures are in the 0.5 - 1.5 second range unless I am doing a long ocean exposure. I did use a ND filter for this one, just playing since the landscape was pretty boring with no snow or ice and was curious about what the group thought. So, I generally agree with you about the cotton-like effect, but some of my friends really like it. Attached is a more traditional stream exposure for me (not highly edited yet) |

Like the framing of the barn provided by the trees, leading lines of the fence and road, interest from the shadows later in the day, and that the leaves from the foreground tree did not overlap the barn. Suggestions? Maybe crop in a bit on the left. |

You just reinforced why this group is valuable. I started with the raw file and did the things you suggested so from raw to posted image it looked like a lot was done. You made it better. |

Good story. I liked the subject matter, exposure and angle the image was taken. I would like to see more space above the tree so the branches would not be touching the top of the frame and maybe less foreground since there is nothing of interest there. The top branches, just my opinion here, seem to be in an in-between position; I would rather either see sky above them or a crop down slightly into the branches You might try increasing the clarity/contrast some and lightening the shadows slightly. |

A testimonial to always having your camera with you.... I like the color palate and the silhouettes of the trees and tower. I liked Richard's version with the one tower removed, but I would consider going further and eliminating the two shorter poles just to make it about the one tower. Regardless, you might crop in enough from the left to eliminate the bright spot poking out from the trees on the left. It looks like to me the upper part of the image has a hint of green to it. If you see the same, you may want to add a bit of red in color balance to offset the green. |

Liked the perspective of the homes, the lines from the homes leading to the ocean and the depth of field and sharpness. This is an interesting collection of homes. Agree with Richard's suggestion to darken the sky. Other suggestions are to clone out the large pipe that goes from the home down the side of the cliff; darken the brightness of the cliff in the bottom left of the image; clone out the bright blue object in the lower right hand corner of the image and maybe adding a bit of clarity just to the homes. If possible, could you go back and take this image in early morning or prior to sunset, maybe picking up some lights in the homes and more character in the sky? |
