36 Jan 24 Comment I really like your post-processing, including the temp choices. The composition gives a sense of place. Without including more of the high rock, the image would not provide the story of isolation. The only alternative I can think of is time of day. I know you probably did not have a choice, but an early or later shot might have provided more drama. Jan 8th
36 Jan 24 Comment Timing is everything.... Nice capture of the sun's rays. I like you got a bit of detail in the mountains and the sharpness of the birds in the air. For my eye, the texture of the water is a small distraction, but then you would not have captured the birds with a slower shutter speed unless you merged two images. I would be interested in what your raw image would look like if you kept the foreground - with some detail that may have been promising. Jan 8th
36 Jan 24 Comment Beautifully composed and well processed. I like the shadow detail in the rocks and the separation of the rocks from the water horizon. I think a long exposure was a good choice to soften the water. Nicely done. Jan 8th
36 Jan 24 Reply Yes, I also used a tripod even though this was one of the few times when the wind was not strong. One year the wind was so strong I could not let go of the camera on the tripod. Jan 6th
36 Jan 24 Comment I think you definitely accomplished your goal. The pier supports do lead my eye into the image. Great choice on exposure time which smoothed out the water and gave a sense of motion to the clouds. A faster shutter speed would not have as much visual interest. The time of days worked well also. Well planned and seen. Artist's choice - it appears you went with a strong magenta color cast. Jan 6th
36 Jan 24 Comment The final version is a really excellent composition - strong foreground interest, leading lines, good separation among each set of rocks, shadow detail and a pleasing warm temperature. My only nit suggestion is to burn down the highlights of the plant in the bottom left of the image. Jan 6th
36 Jan 24 Comment Amazing exposure detail for an 8 sec exposure with a ND filter, and it certainly worked to get spot stars. My take is your post processing was excellent as well to bring out the stars and not blow out the pier. I know how frustrating it is to have someone turn on their lights, let alone car lights. The water reflections are great too. Did you consider B/W? Jan 6th
36 Jan 24 Reply ISO 200, f11, 1/20 sec - that what you mean? Jan 6th
