Re: Discussions on improvements
Yeah I think I could go for one myself if it was a decent price I would like a good mono camera.

![]() Any changes in composition or foreground are more about timing than anything. The darker rights side of the is a natural fall off in the light due to the form of the clouds and I decided to leave it. Thanks Keith just different was of working a scene.

Re: Discussions on improvements
I’d take 10% off the top and 15% off the bottom, to give the main subject area more “strength” in a format that would better suit the image.
Interestingly it looks better on Flickr (more contrast and darker) than it is on this forum. That is on my iPad, which is not “corrected” in any way.

Re: Discussions on improvements
I liked the original but I really like the ChiaroScuro version (be interested to know what you did to it) plus I agree with Graham slight top and bottom crops improve it even further. Just my humble amateur opinion of course.

Re: Discussions on improvements
I too prefer the colour version.
I think the lack of the headland at the extreme LHS helps the colour version as well as the more obvious colour differences. I have to say a longer exposure would IMO be less effective then these - drifting towards cliche. Probably still an interesting shot, but lacking much of the energy these shots have. |

Thanks for the comment Graham I can see the crop working It is likely that the shot looks different on Flickr as the interaction between Flickr and the forum has an effect on the image when posted. It used to be that the forum posted image would be oversharpened and it often creates halos around edges Quote:
Thanks Phil intesresting to know Quote:
I am not a fan of the colour as it is badly affected by the filter I used creating a set of colours that were not present at the the time of shooting. This can be seen as a happy accident but it is not working for me. The headland can easily be cloned out I just didnt bother on this occasion. I sometimes (not often) use longer shutter speeds usually on calm days on days where the sea is really moving I prefer to shot it more like this. I prefer to shoot the sea on rough even stormy days.
