In Too Deep

Chose to shoot this scene as a long exposure to enhance the reflected

light and colour on the water surrounding the statue, would love to

hear your view and comments

Hi Jed, love the colours, the distant objects what are they, could they be removed?

All The Best

This is an amazing image, Jed. There are plenty of long-exposure shots of oceans, but the three figures make the shot! Very surrealistic. Great idea!

Ah the distant objects are other statues, best leave them in then.

Hi Gary, thanks for your kind comments, you spotted that the other objects were statues as well, they are distant but I think they add something.

Jed

Thanks Ernest.

Thanks Christoph, I really appreciate you taking the time to view and comment on my images.

Love the saturation and treatment.  Great concept.  The water looks very cool!  Even though the distant objects are statues, they're not really recognizable as such.  I think the image would benefit from their removal, but that's just my opinion.

Surreal. Love the soft water and the saturation. The 3 figures let one's imagination go in many different directions. Good work

They sort of bothered me as well, until I opened the larger version. There they're recognizable

Wes, thanks for taking the time to view and comment. I have included and removed the other statues several times when processing this image, decided to leave them in when looked at the image enlarged when they do have an impact.

Ken, thanks for your kind comments, they are really appreciated.

I like this image, and I think the distant statues should remain.  I like the triangle they create... and that is what I'd probably change - or experiment with.

I think the triangle created is too shallow and wonder if changing the shooting position to put the closest figure into the bottom right third point, with the left one in the upper left third point.  The distant right one would fit wherever it would fit and the triangle would be created with a better balance in my opinion.

Thanks Brock, I really appreciate you taking the time to view and comment on this image. I'll give the composition you suggest a go next time I'm down on this beach.

Hi Jed.  Where is this installation? It is a good subject for an imaginational landscape creation, or some other surrealistic image creation.

Cheers.

Bela, this is Anthony Gormley's 'Another Place' on Crosby beach Merseyside in the north of England. A very popular venue with photographers for obvious reasons.
