Chris, Thanks for the comment. Good catch. I hate to say it but I never noticed it. I am going to try to correct the perspective in photoshop. I'm always afraid of overprocessing. I guess this one needs a bit more.

 

Here is the fixed version per your suggestion. Thanks again

20 second exposure at f22. There is very little photoshop manipulation

here. The unique red glow is a product of the sodium vapor lights on

top of the pier.

Wernher,

 

Thanks for the comment. I agree with you on that top scene. For me, the magic of this image is that there are actually four distinct pictures captured simultaneously on the same frame.

I think if I saw the print blown up a bit larger I'd agree with you. I didn't even notice the people in the distance the first time I commented. Have you thought about turning this image Black and White since it is already fairly monochrome?

Comments are Welcome!

Comments are welcome. My thought process behind this image was the

interplay between light and shadow as well as the juxtopositon of the

straight buildings and free-form tree.

I love the soft pastel colors bracketed by the black buildings. I might consider a tighter crop. There is not enough of the tree on the left to add to the image. Instead I would crop the image square from the bottom right. This would add more emphasis to the pastel clouds as well as the spire. Just a thought.

It certainly is. He had seen better days by the time I captured this image. In fact, now he is just a head.

I thought about cropping the clouds. In fact, I have another image in landcape format of just the rocks and the close beach. However, I like that my eye has to move up and down to take in the whole scene and at each point the scene is technically and aesthetically interesting. Too many wide format images have a center of eye focus and the rest is just add on.

There is nothing better than bear butts. My wife was wondering why I was laughing. Love this photo.

Great composition. I like the distribution of tones and the soft texture of the sky set off by the structure of the trees.

Excellent contrast. The clouds almost look painted arounf the shed.

I really like the lines here. It has a nice aesthetic beauty. I don't know if it was your intention or not, but as the eye is drawn up the image the highlights really magnify the distance. However, the eye is then confined by the mountain range. Personally, I would like to see a cropped form of this image without the mountain range.

I like the way the color was put back in. I wonder how it would look if the sign on the building was colored as well. It seems that the image needs some color on the upper portion to balance it out.

Awesome use of color and blur. I love the dynamic nature of this image. I notice that the image was cropped fairly tight. I wonder if allowing more of the sharp surrounding area might make this imgae more dramatic.

Comments are welcome. I have been contemplating cropping this image

square, since the far right adds little to the scene.

I don't know if I can critique my own, but I want to comment on the transition between the cliff and the sky. It looks artificial, but that was the way the image was captured. The cliffs are really red and the sky was really blue. I'm not sure I like the way it looks either. I might go back and adjust the contrast or something just on the cliff line. Any suggestions?

Comments are welcome

Just curious to know what people think of this image. I have always

hosted my images on my own server and I am new to this community. I

guess I just want to see if it is worth spending more time around here.
