The first thing I looked at is that wave so it is bit distracting; I like the atmosphere of that photo. As photospec said try straightening the horizon, maybe crop would work as well!
I like this a lot,
the monotone feel to this works
but
the horizon needs to be straightened
and the border is a bit much maybe a lighter colour.
I think people have a thing about borders here on PI, I put a border
on my posts also because 1) it frames the picture and 2) if a picture
is to be wall mounted it will have a mount and border!
so i like the idea of the border but as i said i think this needs to be lightened.
The wave i dont think is distracting and i wouldnt crop. the wider image and wave add
atmosphere to the image.
Yes but the border have to be so thick that it actually takes away from the picture?
My girlfriend works in a framing factory so I do get the mount/border thing. ;)
