Sea Weave

Sunset in the Western Isles. All comments appreciated.

its amazing

I like it very much. The rocks seem increadibly sharp. Is this real or have you used rather a lot of unsharp mask? (not a criticism; if you have, I rather like the effect.)

Hi Simon..this shot is really incredible..congratulations on this super effort!

I like the composition and treatment on this shot Simon. It's so easy to see a sunset with the eye, yet when you look at your image later, you find you've burned-out the sun. This looks just fine.

Simon, another beautiful shot! 6/6 anon and added to my favorites

Sensational composition. Fantastic light in stone from the foreground. A landscape to enjoy. Congratulations. Vicente.

Beautiful! Strong composition and good use of the water movement to create lines into the photo. The rocks are reflecting some good light and overall a very well balance image. Another 7/7 from me. Well done!

Wonderful detail, a full, rich sunset with expressive clouds and the fluid motion of the waves... just perfect! Mike

 

Thanks for the comments everyone.

 

John,

 

I haven't sharpened this anymore than any of my other pictures, maybe I got this one just right!

Amazing FG sharpness and lighting. With a dramatic background, image is just outstanding. Congrats! - Lester

This is truly enchanting! Frankly, and no offense meant, the sky is the least interesting part of this image to my eye. The point-of-view and perspective in the FG construction is sublime and virtually stands as an image in its own right. In fact, I'd be real tempted to crop this down from the top to just a hair above the rounded mountain on the right side. Just my two-cents though. Aptly titled as well. Well seen and captured, Simon. Cheers! Chris

Simply beautiful

I am totally aligned with Chris' comment - by the way a beautiful image.

I agree with Chris H., this is a stunning photograph and the foreground could not be better in any way. But, the sky is lacking and I would like less of it to help keep my eye down in the more exciting rocks and surf patterns. However, I wouldn't take quite as much as Chris. I think there is a natural break just above the two thunder-clouds on the right edge.

excellent photo...

Una imagen dinamica y bella con una gran luz.

Saludos.

Thanks for the comments everyone.

 

Chris & Ian. To be honest I never even considered a crop like that but I can see that it would work. I will do some serious experimenting.

Beautiful image, I think it's an exceptional shot. It's always great to see great work. 7/7a. Best regards.

The texture and lighting on the rocks is exceptional, Simon... well done!

Hi Simon

 

Quite simply... a marvellous photograph!

 

Best wishes

 

Pete :)

A very beautiful image, with a wonderful light. Regards, Jean-Marc

Wonderful exousure and timing, I like the flow of the sea around the foreground rock and then taking the eye into the heart of the image. A superb low light composition of the higfhest order.

Wonderful as only the Isles can be, super image.

Hi Simon,

 

that`s a wonderful shot!!! May I ask you what`s the focus point ? The rock in the foreground or in the background ? As I`m still finding way how to get sharp images like this one.
