portfolio lagoon at ruby beach

easily(to me)your best so far

I agree with Andy. Definitely your best. The log doesn't stand out too much im my opinion. I actually think it works well in this shot.

I like this photo, too. In fact, I like all your seascapes and infared pictures. All strong. Looking forward to seeing new work.

I love the central part of this photo - kind of Myst-ish looking. I think I agree that it feels a bit off balance. I tried cropping in more of a panoramic format (attached), thinking that a wide horizontal emphasizes the expanse of the scene without taking away from the beautiful reflections and far away rock. Overall, simply lovely!

Thanks Guy that's a great idea!

 

I'll play around with the full size image some more and post the results.

This photo is very reminiscent of some of the lat 19th century american painters style - big expanses and great ethereal ambience. I like this photo alot, I might only brighten the dark area on the right, but just a touch.

Fantastic! I just love the look, the composition, the colors. If you live near there you are a truly lucky guy! By the way, did you find the linking book that transports you home? Couldn't resist the "Myst" comment... sorry!

Beautiful image. I think I prefer your original version to the panorama version suggested by Guy England ... but I'm not sure. I would definitely keep the sky as it is though.

I really like this, what do you think?

 

Trade you ratings if you're game...

Peaceful. I like it. I agree, I like this better than the panoramic version.

Definately like the "panoramic" version better. The cropped version has a "distracting" black spot in the lower right corner. But the panoramic view gets rid of this and balances the photo well..
