Sphere Cropped
-
Taken overlooking Portmarnock beach.
C&C welcome
Cropped, contrast increased and Howth back in its rightfull place.
Lovely wide shot, well composed and in focus. Like the
conversion too. Very dramatic sky, lots of weather up there.
A pity about your horizon; if you level it off it will change the
angle of that spike, which is my favourite part of the image –
nothing political in that…Rob.
I agree with Rob, great compsition, and I like the angle leading into the top – ( could you crop it from the original to point that into the corner ??) .. but for my tatse I feel it could use a bit more punch in terms of contrast.
Nice work :)

Thanks for the comments i thought i had got the horizon straight but after closer inspection i can see it is off.

I used level and curves + some dodge and burn what would suggest to increase the punch in the contrast as i
have the original raw file which i can rework.Mick

Well spotted it has been flipped in PS i just thought it looked better pointing to the right.
Mick
I had a little tinker around with the image – and just using levels for contrast and painting it into selected areas using a mask – (I PM’d you with it) there is loads more contrast in there to be had if you fancy it :)

Well, call me Mister Picky,
but I think a flip is an edit too far in most photographic disciplines,
but particularly in portraiture, and journalism and documentary,
and architectural photography-Unless of course, you’re just doing a brochure for a housing estate,
where every second property is mirrored anyway-Even then, make sure there isn’t any text visible,
or it just generates too many pointless questions anyway-I’ve seen people make statements about cultural differences regarding the directional reading of text,
which they then apply to pictures;
being mostly illiterate,
these distinctions go over my head completely-Nice conversion,
apart from the conversion,
which I find just a bit too wanton-j
super shot and the detail is excellent. I would crop as LoGill suggested and have the arrow point into the top right corner
This type of shot would print really well
I grew up just up the road from here. My dad used to get us a 1/4 of cola cubes across the road from where this shot was taken in Flanagans shop before they converted it into a restaurant them were the days :-)

Well, it doesn’t alter the fact that the composition is good, although I wouldn’t have flipped it myself. Howth looks a little ‘confused’ to my eye ;)
Actually did you notice the graffiti on the other side of it? I wasn’t impressed (it was there last weekend). It’s never been touched before (as far as I know).

Thanks for the pm

Thanks for the comments the idea is to turn turn this into a tryptych with different b&w tones. Ah cola cubes not had them for a long time.Peter
Howth back in it rightfull place hope it didn’t hurt the eyes too much, this was taken last year so no graffiti i wouldn’t be impressed either.
This is still a work in prgress so any more tips for improvement welocme.
Mick

I can see its the Atlantic now-see ya-

The sphere is a globe .. the geography of the earth was reversed when it was flipped … so the continents were flipped .. so the atlantic coast of europe was flipped … etc
