apreciated! :)P

Hi Phaedra - this captures the feeling of being at sea with the low sun really well. I imagine squinting while talking to someone in front of me. The lens flare gives a cinematic feel to the photograph - I imagine a film where the camera moves across the scene with the sun in full view. The toning gives a good evening warmth to the picture. You could straighten the horizon but I don't think this is essential - often now we see films these days, where handheld video camera seem to be used more and more often, the horizon tilting as the camera pans across a scene, and it adds some nice movement to the picture. It seems to do the same here.

 

You have demonstrated a pretty good eye for seeing the sort of scene that is only noticed by people with an interest in photography, as opposed to people just snapping shots.

 

 

You see in this pic exactly what I had in mind. I loved the lens flare when I cought it and processed in sepia, it just seemed so romantic. :)
