At first I thought it was Kerala. I like the colors.

Of the Impact!

Fine image, Herbert. Did you use filters and/or increase saturation, the colours seem so strong. I would like to see maybe a touch off the top of this image. ZAPPA

Hi Max,

Thanks a lot for your comments and suggestions.

In reply to yr query, I used a ND grad (Cokin) and yes I used some saturation in PS, Auto Contrast and Curve tool with a bit of saturation. But if you look at this image very closely you'll see some sorta specks.. this was some blunder done by the lab at the processing stage.. the entire roll has it.. dont have the time to sit and correct it in PS.

Thanks for your comment on my photo.

 

It means a lot coming from someone that's capable of so many good images.

Spectacular, the best of the folder...for my taste of course

Lighting is 'everything' in photography, and you got it just right in this photo. Very nice work.

that's wonderful!

One of my favorite subjects and very well done. I only see one small distraction and that is a black spot in the sand on the middle left.

 

Beautiful work!

Very nice, good work.

One of my favourite subjects. Nice capture. You have some nice images in your portfolio.

 

Didn't know Oman was so beautiful. My dad worked there in the 70's and 80's. I never got a chance to visit though.

 

Thanks for your comments/suggestions on some of my images.

 

A great photo, but I think cropping both the top and the bottom a little would improve it.

Great, it's good how it is, but a square crop would be nice too.

wow, I just wnane jump right in and take a swim!

fabolus colors and light.

amazing colors and nice composition!

Indeed very nice texture, great photo

Breathtaking!

great photo, loved the place, was there last week :)

I enjoyed your folder. A couple of thoughts entered my mind, based on problems I needed to solve in my own landscape work. I have architectural grids in my cameras now to help get things level, but I also went to a bubble level that slides onto the hot shoe. I need lots of help. Also, ... I think the grad ND4 is a bit much for some shots. Some people like the affect because it is dramatic to see a dark sky and a shaft of bright light on the foreground, but it doesn't make visual sense to me, ... looks altered. Serious landscape photogs seem to carry a number of Grads of different densities, some hard line and some soft, perhaps a colored one or two. I've added a couple to my own gear. But it's hard for me to get the discipline to meter all areas in the image and decide on the combination needed to balance the light to the most pleasing and natural experience. Best wishes. CC

Great work. Great folder

That's a really fantastic image

Dramatic use of the wide angle. Beautiful shot, although I'd use the landscape format here

Extraordinary! It's almost tridimensional.
