Days Work Done - Colour

[John 2]

I've posted the mono version of this before. The original was a bit flat and mono allowed the tones to be brought out more. I've since reprocessed a colour version that I quite like so comments welcome.

Nicely processed.

Very nice. Lake Windermere ?

[DanK]

A nice and peaceful image. I think it would have been better had you composed it to have the negative space in front of the boat rather than behind.

[Geoff F]

I agree with Dan. Maybe crop a bit from the left side? Also, is the top right corner cloud a bit over exposed now?

Otherwise, this version looks OK to me.

[Manfred M]

+1 to Dan and Geoff's comments from me too John.

The visual balance is not working for me with this image. The visual content seems to be riding too far too the right. Cropping the left side of the image would give you a stronger composition.

I like the colourful processing John and the way you have used the reflected clouds to convey the feeling of the end of the day.

Thanks all for the comments.

Dan/Geoff/Manfred. If only they boat had been parked bow out on the other side of the jetty.............. As it stands however, I'm reasonably happy with the comp. My intent was to take the eye to the boat, then to the yachts in the middle distance and finally to the recession of the hills. i.e. a classic zig zag to keep the eye within the frame. So I didn't see the LHS as negative space. I think cropping it on the LHS would weaken that to a degree.

Consider a crop on a line just above the mountain top on the left thus making a more rectangular shape This strengthens the lines you were talking about (and I agree), removes the bright spot of cloud and makes the boat a stronger element. I like the subtle colours and tones a lot.
