Distant Shores

Nice idea. I see why you've used the blur as it brings more attention to the lions. As is it doesn't look quite right as the focus on the boat an landscape doesn't match the area of the lions that is sharp. To make it all blend together more I'd go for sharpness across the image at the depth where the lions are. It might be easier using a tilt-shift blur in Photoshop perhaps. I'd avoid having blurry boat next to sharp feet, if you see what I mean. Hope that is helpful

Thanks Joe, I will adjust the tilt shift blur, take care.

I’m doubtful these immigrants will get a warm welcome. Didn't know there was such a thing as a digital tilt-shift-blur. I miss the selective focus of my old medium formats, but all digital attemps to reproduce it have failed.

I had not intended to comment until I saws Joe's suggested changes. He is suggesting changes to what I like most about this image.

Ah, sea lions!

A great idea very well realized, ciao Giangiorgio
