Sunrise Between The Sea And The Sand

This has to be in the top 10 - amazing capture!!!

Since this started out as a reflection of the sunrise on the water I tried to infuse it with an ocean feel by using a wavy motion as I panned.

Ravishing! Another great addition to your portfolio, I like John before, think this is one of your most valuable jewels in your collection of images.

Slow shutter panning shot of the sunrise on a beach. Thanks for any

constructive critique I am alway appreciative of helpful feed back.

Very appealing, papery texture on this. You're very exciting to watch.

Sunrise over the ocean never looked so good! Clearly, you succeeded in creating the wave-like look, not to mention creating a wonderfully textured piece. Your facility with this technique just continues to expand and amaze me!

I thought it appeared at first glance as some sort of cloth. Very interesting transition from a landscape. I generally find sunset/sunrise images pretty boring, but you have solved that problem. Although if I am reading it right we are only seeing the water, sand rock and grasses, at the time of sunrise.

Not my favorite, but I think it's me, not the image. The bottom feels heavy to me, as does the top.

I can't "critique" this image. I can only admire it -- and all you've achieved with your "experiments." This is a wonderful shot. Warm regards...

Well, there you go! I think it is just me and most likely a fine image.

I wonder if you are still diving in the water or are out of them....;-))

Thank you everyone for the kind and encouraging words... much appreciated.

 

Cheers

For me the darkest bottom part looks too dull, that misses that nice texture which i can see on the top part of the photo. But without it, the composition would be this good anymore. Ps. The orange colour on the middle section is really interesting, makes my eyes go there all the time.

My cup of tea, as You know, great ! cheers Jana

I know what you mean about the softness and lack of texture in the bottom of the shot. It is strange that it came out so soft when the rest of the scene ended up with a strong brush stroke effect. I do like the image that way, it adds a second texture ( or lack of texture ) and helps define the line between the land and sea.

 

Good to hear from you my friend.
