    Inspired by Donald

    Less is more....or....sharpness really is a bourgeois concept.

    I am honoured and 'umbled!

    And I love the image.

    Looking through all my images, those that stand out to me and being very good are those that are minimalist. I didn't see this until I happened upon an online magazine 'Minimalism' (https://minimalismmag.com/). The penny suddenly dropped and I have got as new enthusiasm for photography.

    I was getting stuck and was not making the images that I wanted, but I didn't know what these were. Now I have stumbled upon it, I have a renewed verve for photography.

    Really well done Just enough detail remaining in the surrounding mist (?) to captivate the viewer, keep rewarding attention, but not detract from the main subject.

    I could spend a lot of time trying to figure out what I'm not seeing. I like it.

    I like it a lot. Explaining why that is so I have no idea.

    Very nicely done image Robin. I agree with what Brian said "being able to spend a lot of time trying to figure out what he wasn't seeing". I want to keep coming back and looking at the image, because I really like it, but, also to see if I see something else in it that I might have missed. Hope this makes sense.

    Thank you for the positive comments, really appreciated.

    The shot is of a rock stack that sits just off some local cliffs. At high tide it is under water and pops out nearer low tide, you sometimes see a random seal using it to sunbathe.

    The pale surrounding is a 30 second exposure of the waves that I 'high keyed' with Nik SEP2 leaving just a tiny hint of their blurred structure. The final tweak was to select the edges of the image, feather the selection a good few pixels and delete it so the sea just fades away.

    Love this. I also have a fondness for this type of photography. If I had to choose one most interesting this would be it.
    Very well done. And thanks for the inspiration.
