Re: The Emerald Coast of Florida
I've been told this is yukkie; I have very strange taste I think, because I like it. But then I'm not put off by oof plants in the forground, I just think it is there and so be it. Never mind. :)

Hello Steve :)
Rules are to be followed ... most of the times. :)
And I think you do have followed the rules. To place "something" in the foreground is to give depth to the image. You placed the flowers (daffodils) with very contrasting colours just where they were supposed to be.
Well, not exactly. They are in the middle and they shouldn't be. But here it's placement is perfect regarding the hole scene and the curve of the pond.
Some little branches are on the right side are on the foreground to add the composition.
Some people may not like this image. It is not either a classical one or a post-card. It is different and there lies its beauty.
:) Thank you for posting :)
Re: The Emerald Coast of Florida
very nice Steve..! I've never composed so well a shot! and you are out of practice... poor me :(
perhaps I would prefer a non-square crop for that picture anyway..

This is a good work Nicola :)
I do like the water on the curve with it's transparency while the rock is in deep shadow.
Perhaps the sepia is not the best tone for this image... Have you tried a duotone towards the greens/blues ?:rolleyes:
Thank you for posting :)

This is now my favourite from my latest batch. In the daffodil shot above I've even had a B+W done for me with colour only in the daffodils. Suppose the muddy look isn't too digestible.
This one is Ortonised, I like it but would prefer there to not be a car park behind; it is f5 @ 35mm so that the bench and marble plaque are in focus. 35mm is good for CA on my lens.

Hi Antònio,
thanks for your feedback! It's always full of suggestions and, for sure, welcome!:):)
what do you think of this version? I reduced red-yellow saturation...
I proceed with "small steps"... :) I wouldn't loose all the sunset's coloured light, in order to keep the contrast between the blueish of the shadows and the warmer yellow of brighter zones... do you think it is a not good goal? your opinion is to have an even colour cast?
thanks for viewing!

Hi Steve,
nice pic, but I prefer the previous... :o but it's only my opinion..
perhaps a wider aperture from a lower and closer position towards the bench...:)

This is superb. How do you get to think a pic of barbed wire fence will be good. It is though, I like it.

Cheers Nicola, thankyou; I think this has something but then I thought that about the previous one. :)

Huuummm, I really don't like that pole on the right side of the first photo and perhaps you could clone the black left top area ... The second one is great :)
