Island Awash

All comments appreciated...

The word breathtaking can be defined by this image. It is otherworldly. So artistic. The light is exquisite. Composition is fantastic. Tonal range is fabulous. Bravo!

Very good picture Thomas, great shot, congratulations

Very moody... 6/6

This one makes me really dizzy. On the one hand it looks like an island govered over with palms and fog floating down the island. One the other hand it is more obvious an awashed rock. These little (hopefully) plants really make the difference.

This is a fantastic example what can happen when you can hardly get the scale. It works so perfect.

Thanks everyone for your comments.The tranny was in the square format but because of the vast areas of water surrounding the rocks the lack of scale' effect was lost.Of all the croppings I experimented with this one just seemed to hold water better.

I like this crop. this is an amazing picture. 7/7

Thomas, the larger version looks fantastic. It really inspires me.

this one leaves me speachless...truly magnificent.

Any comments are superfluous. Just a 7/7 and a big BRAVO.

It's nice to see an image that deserves to be in the TRP finally get there. This image really stands out Thomas. I just stared at it for a while. Great image. Took me a while to really understand it.

 

Great image and worthy ratings...

beautiful shoot.

My first 7/7... it's not permit be good like that!

!!!7/7

Looks like something from the Creation!

I'm in awe Thomas. Outstanding image.

I can't think of any word good enough to describe this photo - magnificent doesn't even come close!

This is certainly a beautiful piece of work. I am curious...this looks more like a painting than a photo. Is the lighting, coloring, effects, etc. all original (as taken) or what was done to the photo post exposure to obtain this image. Like I said either way the image is beautiful but it would be nice to understand what went into making something like this. Also I find the perspective very interesting, how did you get it?

This struck me as being taken from high up, looking down on an island, covered in fog. It IS hard to get a sense of scale with this. The little plants look like tiny trees, enforcing the idea that this was taken from high above. The top part resembles clouds, rather than water. Anyway, it's pretty cool!

I thought your other shot was intriguing with it's play on light and shadow, so I wasn't as drawn to this . . . until I looked at it large. I agree with all the comments about scale and would love to see this printed large.

One of the most stunning pictures for weeks in my eyes. Top rates.

Beautiful

Amazing shot! Congrats!

Other than levels and contrast there has been no manipulation done to this image not even saturation...in fact I desaturated the reds just a touch to balance things out a little.As stated before I cropped all the way around to take away the sense of scale and hopefully put you in fantasy land.Water textures are due to slow shutter speed and great afternoon light that turned the whole world into golden hues.The polarizer brought out the detail and emphasized the blues in the shadows.I was standing probably 30ft above the rock on a cliff.Thaqnk you all for your comments and questions again,always welcome...

Breathtaking picture!
