Early Morning - Little Bay de Noc

The first sunshine that I was able to capture this winter. Your

thoughts, comments, and critiques are most welcome. Thanks - Sean

Very nice with lovely pastel colours. 5-6

Sean, a great start with the Pentax. The colour palette is lovely but it does look very cold. Are you enjoying wrestling with enormous files?

LOL, Jeff my computer was brought to it's knee's. 533mB before my two little layers. It was very cold.

I like the cold ice and warm sun feeling.

I would like to see the foreground slightly darker and warmer. Overall a very nice photo.

a very pleasing image. beautiful gradation in the sky.

A spectacular entry into the world of the P67 Sean! Without any disrespect to your previous posts, it blows most of those away imho. I wouldn't touch a thing.

Sean, you should specify "view large." This is a beautiful winter shot, in which every detail works -- the fine pastels that the winter morning casts across the landscape, the dried out grasses, the frost on the fence. And you nailed the composition perfectly. Absolutely gorgeous.

Nice work Sean. I can't imagine how cold this was. We can only ever get snow on the beach in south west Tasmania, and then it's rare. I love the colour and soft light in this one, the foreground is nice and bright without the background blowing out. How are you scanning these Sean? Did you get my message re. the Nikon?

Mike, I had this drum scanned. I wanted to get an idea of what a file would look like. And yes, I did get the message regarding the Nikon. I'm looking at some used scanners right now. I'll stay with Nikon. Thanks to everyone for commenting on this image. I really appreciate all of the feedback! - Sean

Excellent ! I'm with Chris you should specify "view larger" ! Regards,

I got my Nikon ED8000 from keh.com, very good price and value.

Nicely done shot with good balance between color and mood. Beautiful effect from the dust of snow in the ground.

Outstanding tonal quality, superb colors. This lighting is amazing, especially the pastel colors in the hoarfrost ! Must be viewed large, surely a great print on your wall ;-)

Thanks all!

Beautiful natural balance of lines and tonality. Nothing overdone. Perfect, serene, calming.

to you too Sean! I agree with everyone, this is a great start with the 6x7. I understand about those file sizes, but look at the result. This format is well worth the extra effort, cost, and time needed; your actual prints will be be breathtaking.

Nice technique with the grad filter my friend. Regards.

Thanks Walter, I really appreciate you stopping. -Sean

Sean, this picture is truly b e a u t i f u l !!! Thanks to share with all of us.

Not much to say Sean--it's beautiful.

Thanks David.

oh the predawn smoothness

just great & the details are perfect

Such a dreamy image Sean, the colour rendition is suberb, the composition well thought out and the detail amazing. Truely an inspriation to someone wanting to get into MF with a Pentax 67.

Wonderful view, awesome colors, Sean, congrats!
