Full Moon Over The Bay of Fires

Thank you for taking the time to look. All opinions are appreciated...

Lovely colors, beautiful composition.

I love the reflection of the pinkish sky and the sand in the forground. This is great work and a wonderful moment in time. Well done.

Its a 'wow" for me - fabulous colors and capture. Well done 7/7

I thought I would post on a few of your images that work for me. This is one of them. I might try to de-emphasize the lichen a little. I like it as an element, but with the intensity it has here – maybe both less saturation and reduced luminosity of the oranges.

 

What I like most is that I find the colours here (other than the very, very intense lichen) to work with the mood created by the smooth water, moonrise(set?), and earth shadow. The composition is effective too, with the tree on the left balancing the slightly right-centre placement of the moon.

 

Surprisingly, the centred foreground rock works for me more and more as I look at this.

Thanks for the comment, Ian. You may note that the place is called the Bay of Fires, because the extreme redness in the rocks. This has been de-saturated here and is amazing to see.

Ah, how foolish of me! The red is a must then.

 

Tasmania is definitely on my short list of places to see sooner rather than later.

 

I assume you've seen some of Kah Kit Yoong's images here on PN. His whole portfolio from Tasmania is rather stunning. Worth a gander.

 

Love the simplicity of this one, simple and uncluttered composition supported by lovely tones and colours.
