Fighting the Sea

    I’m just wondering if you could help me with some critique on this. I highly appreciate it!

    Taken on Lipari, a small island near to Sicily.

    I think some off the left and some off the bottom would help,
    unless its cropped already-
    There seems to be too much going on around the edges of the frame,
    when the subject should be the man’s efforts with the boat-

    a slight bit more warmth might help too,
    and a bit of selective desaturation on the primary colours in the backround might make them a little less distracting-

    That’s what I’d be tempted to do-

    What about an extreme manipulation like this?

    You a crazy guy-
    I had a lens like that once,
    cost me ?150 to get it fixed

    When I look at this I keep wishing you’d been the other side of him and captured the look on his face, but can’t have everything. As the bold Joseph already hinted at…well, hint for him :wink: A little cropping and PS work could make this a really great shot. The building in the background, to me, are a total distraction and unneccesary.

    As for the rad processing…please…don’t… :lol:

    I like this crop. The stones are a bit warmer as well… nice. It’s a pity that I’m absolutely lazy these days and the only thing I can do is organizing and deleting stuff from my trip. PP takes time. Thanks for the ideas, I’m much smarter now.

    I took these photos with the 300mm manual nikkor and of course half of the shots are soft (including this one). Also, I had to crop a bit and when the guy turned and I was closer, he was lost in the background (boats, houses, election posters). This is the best shot I have and I think, this crop and pp really helped on it. I’ll now start processing from raw..

    Thanks for all.
