Sunday stroll on the seaside

[bje07]

Nice weather yesterday, why not to go to the seaside?

C & C welcomed


# 1




# 2 sculptor Karsten Klingbeil




# 3castel's name: "Château Turpeault"

Excellent set of sea side images

[Geoff F]

These look good. Could you get away with a tiny bit more highlight brightness without causing over exposure? It is a difficult sky.

And with #2 there is a small faint mark in the top right corner - on the extreme edge but just visible.

[Rainforest]

Why not indeed. Beautiful shooting. The composition in each one is spot on IMO. Thanks for the trip.

Thank you Geoff

It was a difficult sky. I cannot make it better.

In that case, no problem I'll correct and upload at the same place

Thank you Susan and Nandakumar

Very nice shots Jean #3 looks a bit too crisp though, may be you should reduce the sharpening a bit especially on the rocks and the building.

[Shadowman]

Nice series.

[John 2]

Nice series Jean. Very much like the second. This is a part of the world we might visit this year, here or La Rochelle, we haven't decided yet.

You are right, maybe the compression?

Thank you John.
Enjoy anyway your trip in France.

I made a test via On1RAW, it's not perfect but more pleasant. At least I think

[Geoff F]

Yes Jean, that is the sort of thing I had in mind.

[bnnrcn]

Much better

PS. If you down size your images in PS , I would suggest that you shouldn't choose automatic sharpening options or bicubic sharper option. I always choose 'bicubic smoother' and then apply an unsharp mask according to my taste before saving as JPG.

You are right, maybe the compression?

[IzzieK]

The edit is so much better, Jean. I love all three of them but my favourite now is #3.

[bje07]

Thank you Izzie

my favourite now is #3

because you like the fairy tales

[All3n]

Very, very nice. The sky, the sea, beautiful...the second one is my favorite by the way! I wonder how it would look in B&W.
Thank you for sharing

[bje07]

Thank you Jeffrey for commenting.

[bje07]

Jeffrey, two monochrome versions of #2

# 2 B&W



# 2 sepia

[Geoff F]

Of the two options, I slightly prefer the B&W version to the sepia because it is a little bit better in bringing out the contrast, particularly with the sky.
