Nothing? Noone has felt anything or thunk anything while viewing this photo?

 

This is a first!

 

 

I think that there was an opportunity here with this shot. I've been guilty myself of placing foreground objects too close to the center of the photo, as you have done here with this piece of driftwood. With a digicam in hand (I wish I had had one during my last trip to Canada!), I would have probably shot a couple dozen photos or so, placing the driftwood closer to either the left or right bottom corners of the photo and trying both "portrait" (as you have done here) and landscape perspectives. I would have also taken some shots that included more of the coastline, but that's not to say that they would have provided the better perspective.

 

Overall, IMHO, this would be a very nice photo were it not for the placement of the driftwood dead center in the scene.

 

Cheers,

 

Best regards.

Steve may have a good point about placing the driftwood off the centerline. Still, it is a nice photograph.Regards.

Hi T.C.: I saw the thumbnail and it looked good; once I got to the page I knew something was missing. Unfortunately, there are a couple of tricks and pitfalls (a few still elude me) that one has to be aware of prior to posting. I still have a problem with my pictures not looking like they are prior to uploading to Photo.net; I don't know what or how much automated processing they do but it usually renders them a bit flat, unsharp and with noise. That's point one.
Point two, I think this call for higher contrast; I've attached a sample of what I mean. Cheers.

centered, left, right, upside down. It is a fine foto.

 

Now, to make it even better:

 

1) use flash fill to get the details of the subject.

2) try a higher resolution

 

3) sharpen in PS.

 

Jeff

Taking notes:

1. Flash

2. Sharpen

3. Resolute while high

 

Got it!

Hello, I know how it feel to work your guts off and get nothing, not a single comment ! Thanks for your on my Melbourne "Hole in the Ozone"

Oregon, after Oz (Australia) my favorite place !

No problem. You do good work!

I like it - kind of a damp, primordial, spook feel about it. I can't argue with the contrast comment from a technical perspective, but somehow I prefer it slightly "muddy" to keep in the spirit of the content. Nice stuff.
