A beautiful picture... nice view, color and light. Peaceful scene.
straight to my thoughts...
I like the leading line, though eyes go to the stones. So I would darken the stone a little bit...If I could re-take the picture, I might move a couple steps forward to avoid the stones and the stairs at the right edge. I might even move further to use the chairs and umbrellas as the foreground, with 14-24 lens, I guess the beautiful sky should still be in the frame.
The picture seems a bit unbalanced, with heavier right hand side. I might get rid of the tree and the stairs at the right edge. Or to some extend I might re-crop it with different size, i.e. 4x5 or 1x1.
Nice picture... |

Hi Brenda, hope that you have a great trip.
I have to echo what Dave said. I have the same thoughts in mind...
In terms of the the title. I would try "The lights of the London Tower Bridge".
A nice picture, particularly it is very easy to get over-exposed in such situation. Nice color and nice job. Cheers. |

Hmm...If you did not mention it, I could not find the window which is slightly open. This might be a perfect example that pictures should come with word. I am a true believer of that.
Thanks for sharing the historical scene. Cheers. |

I like original picture as well which has other activities on the beach. But then the composition is not good. With the crop, it is certainly a perfect composition. The shadow, the pattern of the sands, the movement of the family, the little boy...all good.
I also like the bw version. But I like the color version a bit more. The golden color of the skin and sands is what I like. If a mix approach is preferred, lower the saturation of the sand ONLY may make the family pop a little bit more.... Well, 'a little' is important here.
All perfect in the picture, except, the shadow is cut by the frame. It might be just my personal preference, but I don't like the shadow cut. I would prefer the shadow finishes within the flame. If you really care about that, maybe you can 1) clone the sands, and make a fake finish...LOL, or 2) still fake, you might expand the fame with the content aware tool, so that it is easier for the finish part, also you have more ability to adjust the composition with more sands and the smaller people. I would take the second approach. That second approach is not that much fake, because the sands were really there, though your camera hasn't captured it. You just bring it back through Photoshop...It could be the almost same if the camera would have captured it... We call it recover.. LOL
Just thoughts. Nice work. |

I like it. The change done makes the picture much better. I like the composition, the shape of the wings, the movement of the seagulls, etc.. Nice.
The eyes seems a bit blurry, maybe because of the reduced size of the file. I would selectively sharpen the eyes.
It is little flat. I might try to increase the contrast, and might brighten a little bit on the heads of the seagulls on the left hand side. For right hand side, just leave it as is, it is just a supporting role... LOL
Not sure how the light comes in in the picture. If it comes from the back, perhaps you can find a way to brighten the edge of the feathers... it might make the picture more interesting... I guess.
The last try, I might clone out the sand in the front, as it doesn't say any thing but catching the eyes.
Nice work, particularly by a point and shoot camera. Cheers.

Nice picture. It has its mood. The subject, composition, color and even the branches all work well to contribute to the mood.
Even though I personally don't like to have tobacco color gradient filter effect, as it brings in the feeling of unreal. But I have to agree that it works well here. I would still try to make it a little tobacco color at the bottom, meaning not black and white, so that the whole picture is in the tobacco color, while the gradient effort is still there, meaning the tobacco color is stronger somewhere but not the other.
Another thing that I would try is to darken the branches at the bottom, so that the eyes will quickly go to the house.
Or add a fog effort? I am not sure about this part. maybe too much... LOL
A nice work. |
