Wetlands Dawn

Comments/Critiques appreciated. Many thanks.

Interesting composition. The colors on the horizon are great. The sky above the horizon almost looks like long sweeping brush strokes.

Thanks for stopping by, Bob. I didn't do it deliberately, nor do I know how it happened, but decided to leave it alone.

What a striking image! just about jumps off the screen. Regards...

Great perspective and colours!Looks almost primeval.

Beautiful colours and lighting, Doug!

U hv create magic out of this ruins by using saturated and strong color. It seems u like high contrast images whether color or monochrome.

This image is jumping out and is only trying to rationalize what m seeing. hope u don't mind.

Anyway I like this image. Congrat for another piece of work.

Hi Doug- very dreamlike quality. Must be a beautiful place. Did you use a burn tool on it?

Even with all the wonderful colors, this place looks foreboding. Great image.

Thank you all for your kind remarks. It was a rather unique place.

 

Barbara.... I didn't use a burn tool, but I did process it in HDR, which did fill in a fuller tonal range than the camera could reproduce with a single exposure.

Hi Doug,

 

I should have looked at this one first. This is wonderful. I love the sky, the horizon, the swamp. It is so beautiful, one of my present favorites by you. It would be wonderful as a painting. The colours are good, excellent composition, very dramatic. This looks more like the swamps I remember. I can almost feel the black flies and mosquitoes in my eyes and nostrils.

what a beautiful image. I love the juxtaposition of the three dominant colours. Just lovely...Bert

Thank you Linda, and thank you, Bert. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Linda, you'd have loved it. Not a bug anywhere. Must have been too early for them.

I agree with Joseph T. I can almost envision a pterodactyl swooping through the shot. Now, with PS you could probably do that....

 

 

 

Na, it's perfect as it is.

nice composition... beautiful skyline

Lovely composition with eye-catching colours, esp the sky is beautiful.

one of the special times of the day... nice capture..

The layers of colors are the first thing that one notices about this amazing composition. It feels prehistoric and alluring. I can't help but associate this picture with what earth looked like during its infancy. It's bewitchingly captivating.

Good Composition and colors... I like the lighting on the green marshes in the water. I think that makes the picture pop...

 

Great work!! and nice portfolio too!!!
