Definitely noticed this one at first... and every time I see it I like it more.
This is a beautiful image with lovely tones. Very nice, subdued color palette. It would make a nice postcard or calendar shot.
Any C&C Welcome!
Thanks
Where is this? It reminds me of the type of coastal terrain you see in lower Baja on the Sea of Cortez (or Gulf of California, as the Mexicans call it,) or somewhere in S. Africa, but the city/town/development on the other side intrigues me...is it an island? A peninsula? I like the shot, perhaps de-centering the land on the opposite side of the body of water in the frame might improve it slightly.
Very nice silhouettes. Great capture of the sky, pdxflint.
Here is mine for today:
Thanks. I love this shot...! Just love it. It's charming, and makes me want to just hang out there. You could make a poster with the Van Gogh and this both side by side... it would be really cool.
Killarney village, Ontario. HDR treatment (handheld) gave this photo a little more umph than not.
I haven't seen the original, so I can't really compare on that basis, but my first impression is this seemed a bit flat, contrast-wise. (So often HDR usage does just that to my eyes, it renders a scene flat, yet does strange things to certain colors, reds, blues, greens, etc. etc...) To me this might have been a candidate for a b/w treatment, actually boosting the contrast, adding some grain/grit, to make it look a bit like an older, film shot. It would be interesting to see it that way. The vantage point would be perfect if a boat was preparing to tie up to the dock... so go back. Lots of potential here!!
Very nice. I bet those salmon were as pink as the sky ! Nice silhouette plus its neat to see the people between the fish. BJ
Thank you...Well, from the opposite, lit side they were a very warm, coppery color. They're made from steel and have a coat of rust on them, and they glowed. I took a few others from this photo's vantage point, and the best ones as far as people activity behind/through the silhouette weren't the best ones for sky/exposure... that's the way it is often in photography. I wasn't even seeing the people when I shot this, but they added an unplanned element to the separate exposures, which if it all came together would have been really neat.
