I know this lacks drama and maybe a decent focal point..but suggestions anyone has for any and all improvements in all areas for this shot is appreciated. I am really interested in seascapes. Thanks a mil!
:) SharLooks good in BW.
It is funny to see how it changes the impression and the interest.
On the colour one, I looked directly to the boat and on the BW I look to the posts (I hope it is the name for that).
The perspective is interesting. Could you do the same with the boat at the end of the posts?
That would draw the eyes to a point.
I would also suggest to wait for a cloudy sky.Hi Shar,
I like the composition. May I suggest the following:-
I’d crop away a god bit of the flat sky from the top and also some of the foreground (including the shadow whose post is out of shot). That would give it a more panoramic shape and I think that will help.
I’d also clone out whatever is on the horizon to the right.
It would also help, if possible, to add a bit more contrast to the wood, in order to highlight it.
I’m inclined to stay with the colour version for now! I like the range of blue tones in the shot.Hope that helps!
Tom.Nice shot Sharon.
Here is my take on how to post process it (only 25 now:-))
Convert to B+W in the channel mixer
Crop from bottom and left
Burn in the sky
Burn in some of the posts
Up the contrast with an s shape curveHope you like
