Painting In The Sky

Any thoughts or comments are greatly appreciated!

Man you have some beautiful sun rises in the low country. Based upon your title for the photo I cropped it a bit to move most of the foreground which allows the sky to really stand out. What do you think?

This is a superb sky, after all, great exposure and composition where lights and colours are excellent. 7/7 My compliments, Maury

Tyler, this is beautiful shot (sunrise, I assume, as you are on the 'right coast'). I just got back from your neck-o-the-woods - I was in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park for the wildflowers last week. Spent a lot of time on the Blue Ridge Parkway in NC too. Really gorgeous country, and it seems that I always find some really neat stuff to photograph. Took over 400 shots and found about 40 or so that are worth doing some with. By the way, I just went through your portfolio, I really can see how much you've matured as a photographer, my friend! Cheers! Chris

Maury--Thanks for your comments...they are much appreciated!

 

Zack--I can't say I'm crazy about your crop because I think it leaves too little foreground. BUT, I think you are on to something and have a good point. I cropped it myself just enough to remove the incoming mini-wave so it accomplishes your goal of eliminating the distraction but still leaves some foreground and I think it looks pretty good. I'd like to leave the amount of foreground I have so the horizon is at about the lower 1/3 mark but I do see your point about it not fitting well. Despite my best attempts to prolong my exposure as long as possible, I could not perfectly smooth the water this morning like I can many others. However, I do have a ton of frames with this composition so I will review them to see if I can find some without a wave breaking up the foreground water. Thanks a lot for your thoughtful comments--you have a good point and I appreciate your assistance!

 

Chris--Great to hear from you my friend! Thanks for the compliments on my recent work. I will definitely be by to your portfolio to see what you captured on your trip East! Take care and be in touch!

Excellent image of special beauty, magnifies light, color and perfect alignment, cordial greetings Tyler.
