Thanks Graham - I agree completely with all your crit... what I should have done was switch to my telephoto and put together a panorama using the better quality/sharper lens. Instead, I stuck to my W.A. which was on the camera and isn't the sharpest by any stretch - yes, I cropped to make a "panorama aspect" shot. Sharpness is poor towards the edges as a result, I think. I might reshoot that "properly" for the album...
I upped the saturation by manually painting saturation over the houses individually. I actually lowered saturation in the sky and water. I may overdone it slightly, even though I was going for an "in theme" loud look
Ok now for confession time... the reflection of the buildings is entirely painted on the sea by me . I felt like it should have been there, so I got the paintbrush out and added it manually! Now that you know it of course, you'll look again and realise it's fake but I'm quite pleased it wasn't blindingly obvious...
David - thanks and glad it's striking the right (loud) chord I actually chopped the sea because I just felt it wasn't adding anything to the image. Maybe I just took too much away and left the proportions slightly wrong. Thanks - I'll review my crop a bit...
