holy island

these are just at the entrance of Holy Island Castle in North

Northumberland

Very beautiful and well executed

Beautiful colors, good layout.

Very nice colours and framing. Too bad for the little part of boat/house which got cut on the left hand side...

Beautiful. But what have you done with the sky ? Looks as if it came from a differente picture.

I have never, never seen this, what a great forms this have.

A great shot from a special place.

Sky was cut and pasted from other photo ?

Very interesting shape. Are these really old boat hulls or just made to look like it? Really diferent and eye catching.

great subject, nice picture.

I think however, that the sky is a little overdone. Did you use a polarizer? To me it looks too dark on the left and to bright on the right. Did you take it in the late afternoon?

Cirrus clouds DONT go into the ground, at that angle They are composed of ice crystals, 30,000 feet up, and before they would reach the horizon, they would be out of sight. Sorry I am still around, Kevin..

anyone can see it is 2 photos (Birk)(sorry I mean Turk.For the record if I have taken a photo and the sky is washed out rather than not put the photo on I will do something to it which in this case I pasted in a sky.(Honest it is no big deal at the end of the day it is an image (the landscape I took is still the same (whatever landscape I would have taken is still mine.(It works) have you seen the reaction.(LONG LIVE PHOTOSHOP

Photoshop is nice, but a pasted-in sky is something you ought to mention up front, to avoid a negative reaction. Now, that issue aside, how does it look?

 

The forms of the bulidings are spectacular, but I would say the fake sky is too much here. The light on the buildings suggests an overhead sun slightly to our left, whereas the sky suggests a sun far to the right. Then there's the issue of where the two pictures meet. These are hard to do, but the artificially sharp meeting between the two gives the picture a sense of fakeness. Also notice the halo on top of the closest building.

 

I hope I don't sound too critical. There is a reason you've caught so many eyes--the scene is beautiful, even if it looks a little unnatural.

This is why a shy away from photos that acknowledge alterations, but do not explain them.

...at least from the thumbnail. Good idea. I don't mind the layered in sky, but in this case is a bit unnatural. I think improvement can be made with fixing of the white outline along top of left building, and may be rotate the sky orientation 90 degree clockwise to be more natural. Nevertheless, very catchy with lovely green and pleasing form.
