Miner's Castle II

This is a rework of a previously submitted photograph. I am making a

16x20 Giclee print of this on an Epson 9600. I added about a quarter

inch to the top (by cloning the incoming fog bank) to make it an even

size.

What a clear sea here.

Beautiful seascape and wonderful colors

Magnifica,,,,,, luz, encuadre,, composicion,, color y belleza ,,, un cordial saludo,,,6/6

Excellent!

Great pic Walter..love the blues at top. 7's

Thanks Paul. I thought this would be a good test for the Epson 9600. From what I have read, the color gamut in this photograph would be what the 9600 excels at (in contrast to a Chromira, for example). Regards.

Nice Walt

I love the blending of the colors in the water.

Thanks Jim!

Excelente, Walter, lindo paisaje, bravo!

I remember this one, Walter. I loved the clearness of the water and the way it seems to meld with the sky. Nice work!

I really love this one, Walt, all the way from the overall composition and colors down to the smallest details.

Swietny widok, warty dalszej eksploracji :)

The height takes my breath away!

Beautiful lines, color and atmosphere (literally). Splendid!

Breathtaking Walter...I need to go there sometime this summer.

I love the upper half of the image. It's mystical, with great colors and shapes. However, the bottom part is completely spoiling it for me. I especially don't like the bank there, as it has no colors or interesting objects. I am not trying to spoil the party, just give my honest opinion.

Dziękuję Darek! And thank you all for visiting! Momo, thanks for the comment. Nothing wrong with voicing your opinion. Regards.

Excellent photo.

The use of polarizer here is perfect. Even cut the image in the middle, it's still 2 beautiful images. Love the contrast between the bank and the sea. BTW, This is my favorite.

Really a beautifull one, I like the sea transforming to the sky, and particularly the clarity of the sea and the shore-curve... Jiri

I like this photo a lot. However, I don't know why you're uploading it again, since it received tons of ratings and comments when you loaded it the first time.

 

You have found a great use for the Clone Tool (even better than the work done on my Cottonwoods, which I did not mind at all).

 

I love the details under the water surface and the curve is great too.

 

Thanks for the tip on "expanding" an image to full frame with Cloning--although I suspect it will be limited to images with even horizon lines, skies, or seas....

Well, I originally just wanted to examine both of them side by side; I was not going to ask for a critique on this one at all. In fact, I was going to delete it. But it is quite a bit different from the first one. Granted, the differences are primarily in how I edited it. But I think it is somewhat better. So, because of the initial responses, I think that I am going to keep this one posted and just provide a link to the original for comparison.

I am sorry if I seem to be a bit of a hog. I suppose what I should have done was post this as an attachment to the previous original. But I would have had to use a much smaller file size if I had done that. Thank you for stopping by and commenting. Regards.

Works for me. Convincing clone job since I wouldn't have notice it if you didn't mention. I'd love to hear your elaboration on how the 9600 works out for you at the end. We've been looking for a new large format printer for the office ourselves.
