    Dried out tree in seascape

    Hi all..theres something about this image i really like.. i just cant get the crop right, i was thinking maybe to move the moon a bit, but then the light doesnt work thats on the water. i think moving the moon to a thirds corner will improve the image drastically. I'd also like comments on the actual image. Im all new to landscape so could do with any help.

    Hi Claudio:
    Like your photo. For what it's worth, I think I might change the crop somewhat to place the tree in the left 1/3 of the photo. I would also work with your saturation a little to bring out some of the light color. Remove some of the noise and you're done. That is just one man's opinion worth exactly what you pay for it. Ultimately, it's whatever looks best to you.

    Aloha, Bud

    Hi Claudio. I think if you had take a couple steps to your right before taking the shot, you would have gotten the moon, and its reflection in the water, off center as you wanted.

    Claudio,

    Just a thought but perhaps try cropping from the top about 3 cms - I appreciate you'll lose the moon but it may just remove the distraction as well - the light on the ocean stands well anyway.

    Nice image though.

    Yes, I think the moon is too small and distant to play a meaningful part in that scene so I wouldn't worry about losing it.

    Nice image, I think the tree needs a bit of separation from the background, other than that composition is nice as is.
