My first Landscape post
-
This is my second picture post on PI. With the weather we’ve been having lately I find it hard to find an evening to get out getting photos. We headed out to Doolin last Tuesday evening and this is one of my favourites, though I may have went too much with the border. I’m still pretty new to this and I’d appreciate any feedback / comments
regards,
Sean
Welcome to the forum Norris,
You shoulkd certainly rethink the border. It’s just too dominant and distracting from the piece. I would also remove any titling unless you can move it to a more subtle position within a different frame.
It’s a shame about the frame because I was momentarily distracted from a super photograph. There is a definite symmetry to this, in particular the angle of the cloud in the sky versus the angle of the wave cut platform. Beautiful light too.
So lets see it with the border removed.
I thought exactly the same as Andy here… what looks like a good image lost in a distracting border with unnecessary text. Bit on the small side too.. hard to see any great detail but really looks like some lovely light hitting the water there.
I second (third?) the opinions here – it’s a great, simple shot that’s let down by the border and the title. Let the image speak for itself. If you’re going for a border, pick something that’s less visually dominant.
Cheers,
PeterThanks for the feedback guys. I really did go OTT with that border and titling. I really should have kept this one simple! at least its a lesson learnt. I’ll post up the one without the border after work so you can see the difference. Thanks again guys,
Regards,
Seanwell I won’t be original but seriously border is stealing attention from this photo.
Great light, composition would be batter if you position horizon according to THE ( mighty) Rule of Thirds.
As for the border, try this:PS:
image->canvas size, choose relative, chose width and height for example 5pix, and black colour, hit OK
image->canvas size, choose relative, chose width and height for example 200pix, and white colour, hit OK
image->canvas size, choose relative, chose width and height for example 5pix, and black colour hit OKand you have really nice border :p
As for the title definitely position it on the border, in the center of the bottom edge?Good luck
hey, thanks for that. I took your advice on the border. It certainly is much better now. I’ve updated it now above. I didnt even know how to do that in photoshop so thanks for the detailed steps.
