Shadows of Redondo Panoramic

August 31, 2006

I am enjoying the new toy very much.

Thanks for visiting Paul!

Good timing in capturing the foreground light and the wave coming over the rocks. I agree a few clouds might of helped. In addition to the above horizon methods, occasionally running a straight edge across the horizon, feathering it a few pixels depending on image size, and some cloning work can sometimes help. This would be more of a last resort method after trying the above mentioned techniques, but something to maybe keep in mind. Real good work here.

Nice capture, the colors of the water and the sky seem to blend in too much, which makes it somewhat difficult to see where the water ends and the sky begins, maybe darking the water might help.

Very good timing on getting the lighting with this, not an easy task with Velvia and fall colors during mid-day hours.. Really nothing I can find to improve here.

Very creative work, I especially like the colors chosen for this and the darker shadows...the pears seem to resemble the shape of doves to me.

I like the many different contours of the rock formations. I think the human figure also works well here to add perspective.

This is really nice Kurt...I like the angle of the fence and the positioning of the cloud seems to help balance the stronger weight of the fence on the right side of the image. I want to say the lighting may be bordering just slightly on the strong side, but I think I like it as it is. Many layers and varaiations of color in this to keep the viewers interest.

It looks like a keeper to me Kurt, another nice one.

A well balanced composition, with exposure handled just right.

Very nice, Maybe crop some of the sand.

A beautiful photo indeed, I especially like the timing in capturing the foreground ripples/swirls. There seemed to be a slight yellowish cast to the photo on my monitor and gave it an attempt at correcting..I hope you dont mind.

"Really good" composition with very nice subtle colors in the sky...Although I might try and straighten the horizon a bit...unfortunately a problem with this lens using this sort of downward angle, I've been trying the Kodak E100GX over the last couple weeks and am interested in seeing the results. A very good location you found here.

As Leon mentioned.. nice reflections and the sky seems overexposed. Maybe including more of the foreground rock in the lower right of the shot would also give better balance to this already excellent photo. Very nicely captured as it is.

Outstanding Jen.....Congratulations!! This is definitely one of my favorites. While I would imagine many/most or all of your shots are very sellable, this one seemed to stand out to me somewhat. Very well deserved.

Hi Jay, I was looking at this one a couple days ago and while the flowers themselves I feel are attractive enough IMO as the main subject and I believe the idea is very good, the main issue I might find might be the depth of field, especially on the furthest distant ridge. I hadnt really noticed a problem with the flowers positioned on the right side, but would like to see a version with them on the left...I agree ..may give a better balance. Its nice to see Mr. Tylor back to his previous style of critiquing an image......Perhaps staying away from the forum may be best for many here.

Much better..... I like your composition. The rock outcrop on the left gives a nice balance and just the right amount of cliffside to the right of the image to give some necessary contrast. The only thing I might find distracting IMO would be the positioning of the sun. As it is, the lighting seems somewhat harsh and the suns positioning near the top/bottom of the frame might be better positioned just as it is setting behind the clouds, which might have given you better lighting as well. I tried a little crop off the bottom to see what it would look like without the centered horizon and to remove the glare in the lower part of the image. Hope you dont mind, Very nice work.

You may also want to consider deleting the previous upload of the same image and submit your corrected version for critique.

How does Mr. Tylor get his vivid colors?

A) Walmart

B) Costco

C) Longs Drugs

D) 7/11

I like this style of composition, very creative and original work.

It looks as if your technique is very good as is, The small vertical crack below the leaf seems to draw my attention, but this just may be me. Very nice abstract work.
