Kerry Lake.

This is just a small lake out the back of my brother’s estate in Killorglin. I’m a new user, this being my first post, looking for some insight into what i’m doing right and wrong.

agree with Tex., use the shadows and highlights to life some detail
Looks a nice spot
DeeBelieve it or not that was my second attempt, I removed my first one because it was too dark.. I tend to overuse blacks when I edit, maybe it’s my “style” :)
I’ll have another look and attempt to brighten it up.
There’s probably a great composition there – just a bit dark to make out.
Your brother has an estate?

It’s a housing estate :) There was supposed to be a hotel built where I took this picture but thankfully that project is on hold. I have a bunch of different images from this shoot, I picked that one mostly out of gut instinct and I liked the silhouette of the broken fence trailing into the foreground.
Welcome to the site and well done on your first post! I really like it, yes it is
dark but I do think it suits it, maybe a little tiny bit brighter in the bottom right
just to bring out a little more detail. But well done :)Grey2k
I like this shot, especially the colours that you see in the reflection from the water. Personally, I like the silhouette and don’t find it too dark at all. What I would do though if it were mine, is crop it in more of a 3:1 ratio so that you lose the 3 rocks that are isolated in the bottom left of the image. This shot would look great as a panoramic image. Keep up the good work.

Strange you should say that I actually shot a panorama of the scene that night. I’m not sure how well it came out, I find panoramas get very squeezed, and the stitching software isn’t always the best.
