Blue Heaven

With just a hint of colour left in the sky I took this long exposure. Specifications : Gitzo

tripod, ISO 200, f11, shutter speed 2 minutes, Cokin filter holder, 3 stop hard ND grad.

Superb, powerful depiction of a serene landscape highlighted by a dramatic skyline and tranquil water. A big applause!

I'm liking this one a lot.......it's a keeper.....excellent work!

I love the subtle colors int this photo. Great!

Marvellous! Clean and flawless. Interesting sky - cold.

Heavenly light and colors ! Very good in-camera work, the grad ND transition zone is invisible. Excellent landscape !

This is excellent. All of the forms make for a great composition: clouds, distant land, sections of rock intersected with water. Your use of the grad ND filter is perfect.

great shot! i love the lines, the colors and the feel. very tranquil. awesome work.

The orange horizon slicing into the predominanlty blue palette is lovely Kah Kit. The highlight region on the water is perhaps a little fierce - maybe a bit of a burn there?

Thanks for all the comments & suggestions. I have revised the image by lightening the right part of the sky. Richard, you're right the water is a bit hot in the left part of the sea. Perhaps I overdid the contrast in levels.

Love the blue pattern amongst the rocks Kah - breaks up the foreground very nicely and creates quite a stunning effect. Sky is also compelling, both with the streaming clouds and the touch of warmer colour.

First class, like all your work Kah. Congratulations. Kind regards, Neil
