Manly Beacon

Please view larger image. Your comments and suggestions are greatly

appreciated.

Super landscape, looks a great place to visit. Like the colours and how the foreground "stands out". Nicely composed and presented. Best regards Ken.

Thanks for your viewing and comment.  A real bonus for the trip was the great sky which followed a monsoon-like storm two nights before. Take care, Phil

I agree with Ken especially with the composition. Good shot.

When you are not present and when nothing in the image  can tell me with  surety that an element is gray, one is left to guess whether the color balance is spot on.  Of course,  it does not have to be precise depending on how you as the photographer and artist wish to present this image to the viewers.  So relying purely on a gut feeling and you know how accurate that is (*_*), it tells be that it may be a tad too blue and you may want to adjust by adding mostly yellow to the scene.

Please do not interpret this as a negative comment since it was not intended to be that way. Most often we pass an image and say "Beautiful" and move on and with that there is less chance of offending anyone. So I am stepping out on a limb here.

All the best,

I appreciate your time and interest and think your suggestion has improved the image-I've posted in my gallery the new version.  I've been torn between trying to preserve the before dawn feeling of where I was and trying to bring out the tonal range of the foreground.  I think that selective warming  worked out well.  Thanks again, Phil

You are welcome.
