andrew coulthard 0 Posted November 17, 2002 Target range for the RAF, difficult light waiting for the sun to really break through. Link to comment
stemked 4 Posted November 17, 2002 I think you need to crop out some of the forground myself. Otherwise I like the effect. Link to comment
elmasli 0 Posted November 17, 2002 I think a croped version of this perform could be better.. as it shown in the attachment, it is more and more dark in side... Link to comment
david_eppstein 0 Posted November 18, 2002 Gah. Original version good, cropped versions bad.I like the minimalist composition and use of 1/3-points. I also like the deep foreground and the way the yellow color there balances the roofs of the targets (and their reflections) contrasted with the blue gray sky; cropping the foreground would lose that effect.

andrew coulthard 0 Posted November 19, 2002 That is what I saw in the shot but the 'croppers' obviously thought otherwise. For me the cropped picture just 'dies', I like the full version but what do I know? Thanks for the comments - all well received Link to comment
johan_hansson1 0 Posted November 19, 2002 Really, really weard shot! Graduated gray, polarizer and cross-processed? Surreal to say the least. Like it very much! Link to comment
mayuri 0 Posted November 19, 2002 i love the image as it is !! beautiful !! gives me a feeling of spacelessness.....there is no beginning and no end to it!! looks from the outer world !! Great capture !! Link to comment
tony p 0 Posted November 20, 2002 I really like the image. I have visited the site several times (mainly there for the breeding seals around November/December). Aren't the shallow water reflections wonderful! Can't help thinking that another target in shot would have worked just that little bit better (three is always a good number). What about cloning a really small target for near the horizon, just to the left of the others? Love the colours. Do not crop the image! Link to comment
sukhi 0 Posted November 27, 2002 the serinity in th water has actually aided you to achieve such a brilliant pic Link to comment
don_harper_the_edge 0 Posted December 22, 2002 This reminds me of a Salvadore Dali painting. It took me a while to figure it out. Don't crop! It's excellent the way you've presented it. Very well done. The sky is great, the shallow water is excellent. Third object is a good suggestion if you don't mind bending reality. Thanks for sharing. Consider these comments helpful or rubbish as you see fit. Link to comment
olivia 0 Posted December 23, 2002 very surreal, love the simplicity. tell me there is no photoshop involved. Link to comment
andrew coulthard 0 Posted March 30, 2003 Olivia...just a polariser and the usual stormy clouds at 5:30am in November!! Photoshop to scan and adjust levels. Link to comment
g1 0 Posted April 27, 2003 The crop killed the whole ambience of this wonderful picture! As a previous commenter mentioned, the yellows and blues work well together. Added to this the foreground conveys the feeling of space. The colours themselves are really good, not too bright, just subtle. The sky is atmospheric too, creating a kind of ominous feeling, as if the stillness is about to be disturbed by a storm stirring up, or a fighter plane flying overhead. I agree with the surreal Dali'ish comparisons. Link to comment
mgm 0 Posted May 22, 2003 If I were to do a crop, here's (above) the one I would do. Not 100% sure I'd do it though. Great shot! Link to comment
