the bay shore Cloudy View from the Bayshore

Your thoughts, comments and anything else are most welcome, thanks for looking................Holger

Well done Holger, I like the inclusion of the bird, nice touch

Thanks Tony, always good to get your input, see you soon...............Holger

Hi Holger, Nice image. I like the way the old pier lumber leads the eye across the bay creating nice depth. The light and clouds are excellent. Personally, I'd prefer this without the white border around it. That hems it in for me. Also, I'd lower the contrast on that pier. i recently took the advice of a masterYosemite photographer, Michael Frye, who pointed out that contact in camera RAW should be set at -33 to adjust for over contrast. Have a nice summer. Larry.

Difficult lighting well managed! Nice picture too! Cheers, Holger! PDE

Nice image and mood. Great composition and use of the light. Very good. Best regards Ken.

PD and Ken, Thanks very much for the look and write, always good to hear from you. See you soon.................Holger

Hi Larry, Thanks for the in depth comment and good observations. The frame I can live without but I have to give the other some thought, I have on occasion overcompensated on contrast for uploads to the site as sometimes my image didn't come across as intended. Thanks again, see you soon................Holger

has a 3d efect.. as if the dock is part of the water someone meshing together

Thanks very much Stephanie, I appreciate the look and write, see you soon.............Holger

Holger, I'll start by noting agreement with most of the previous comments. Unlike Larry, though, I'm partial to the thin white frame. It provides contrast with the prevailing darker tonality. Given my predilection for abstracts, I spotted something that really grabbed my attention. It seems the image contains evidence of a tremendous feat of strength. What looks like a light pole at the end of the dock appears to hold up an entire jetty and dockage facility. Bravo on the creative composition. Excellent work . . . -- michael

Dear Donna, It's so nice to hear from you, thank you for the visit and comment. Hope all is well with you. See you soon..........Holger

Such an impressive shot Holger. I really like your choice of POV, that lone bird really adds to the shot :) amazing cloud formations and so great that I can see the buildings through the mist in the far distance ! Hope you are doing well Holger !

Hi Gail, So good to hear from you. Thanks for looking and commenting on this image. I'm OK and hope you are as well. See you soon...........................Best, Holger

Nice depth and leading lines.

This looks like it required some exceptional tonal work. Excellent work, Holger.

Chris , Thanks for the visit and comment, see you soon...........Holger......

Wayne, thank you for the astute observation. I'm not normally a big ps guy, usually just small corrections and the like. This one I used some things in a PS elements filters under NK or something like that. I liked how it turned out as it added the tonal qualities you mentioned. Thanks again and see you soon........Best, Holger

Holger,

Great photo, great mood,

Regards,

ZT,

f/5.3, eh? you're so in love with the world that you want it all! it works really well, but i think it would segment better into near and far if you opened up a little and let the background blur out a bit. best, j
