Another Outlet to the Sea

I wish all my friends here at PN a very belated Happy Holidays. I've

had some health issues that kept me from participating. Trying to get

back in the swing of things and humbly offer this image for your

critique. Thanks for looking, all comments are welcome.

Beautiful. Be well and have a great 2017. 

Welcome back, missed your involvement and support. Hope you are well and fighting fit. Nice image, great composition and quality of detail and light. Best regards Ken.

Holger,

A warm welcome back and praying that your health improves.  I love scenes with boats and you have captured this nicely.  Best Regards...bb

Marie, Ken and Bill, thank you so very much for the welcome back and good wishes. I'm delighted you like the image and took time to write. See you soon.

Holger

Holger,   I hope you are doing well now and wish you the best for a healthy 2017.   Nice image.  I like it as is, no changes.  One thought,  Michael Frye, in his book Digital Landscape Photography: In the Footsteps of Ansel Adams and the Great Masters, says he thinks PS displays images with too much contrast. He suggests that in editing, we reduce contrast by -33 overall and then go from there.   I have been working with this advice and find it helpful.  Just thought I'd mention it.  Glad to have you back on PN.  Be well.  Larry

 

Hi Holger,

  I wish you all the best for 2017.  Beautiful scene with wonderful POV & colors.  Take care, Patsy

A belated Happy New Year to you and yours as well.  Hope you are well now and remain so.  A very pleasant harbor scene, I can smell the salt air, hear the distant surf and the squawk of that lone seagull.  Glad to have you back... Mike

Sincere Best Wishes for 2017!

 

I love any nautical scenes, and you have captured that atmosphere here really well. The slight breeze then sends a ripple on the water and a chill in the air!

Very well done!

 

Best Regards

Larry, Patsy, Mike and Alf, Thank you, thank you for the very kind words about the photo and concern for my health. I have missed you folks and your wonderful images very much and I'm glad to be back. See you all as soon as I can.

Hi Holger....Great shot my friend. This works well in portrait format as it shows a great sky.

The darkness of the water in at the bottom draws me into the scene. Well done my friend. Regards, Lawrence

Holgert beautiful atmosphere -lighting-and colors best regards Janegbert

I like this just the way you have composed it with the marina and its boats as intermediary between sea and sky. It's a beautifully balanced shot.

I too hope you are doing better Holger..........there is a really bad flu that has been 'knocking down' the strongest of soldiers up here, am sure it is in the States as well.......sure knocks the stuffing out of you...I'm almost better.  I love this image.  Beautiful POV , good detail as I look towards the open water (perspective)  - good processing as always.

Lawrence, Janegbert, Jack and Gail, I so much appreciate your taking the time to look and comment on this image. Jack, you and Lawrence both hit upon a concern I had with this image, that I had to much water or sky and why didn't I crop it this way or that. I thought it would ruin the balance. Thanks for validating my thoughts. Take care. See you soon.

Holger

Holger, such a nicely capture , love the wide view & beautiful mind, the crisp details, great DOF, perspective..., amazing layers & elements in sky and river are just wonderful, fantastic job!       Best regards

Richard it is always a pleasure to hear from you. Thank you very much for the kind words and taking the time to look. See you soon.

 

BR, Holger

The image is great with many interesting details, however I also enjoy all the wonderful PN members that you attract and give us so many lessons. Take good care, I'm happy you are back in full health. Warm regards. Jorge.

Jorge, Thank you my good friend for the kind words and well wishes. You are right about my being very lucky to get comments from the PN members with many, many helpful suggestions. Believe me I've learned quite a bit from them. See you soon.
