This was taken last week in Donegal.

All c&c welcome.

First time uploading a picture :bang:

Will work it out :thinking:

Got it now

Nice and simple , like it

horrocks · 12 Oct 2009

This is nice enough, but on my (admittedly awful) screen it looks like you have applied quite a hard selective USM on the boat, leaving everything else looking softer and warmer. It doesn't quite sit comfortably in the rest of the shot.

I really like it. I wouldn't have noticed the hard sharpening if Toby hadn't mentioned it. Lovely shot.

Cheers,
Dean

I agree with Dean, I really like the detail on the boat and the simplicity of the foreground.

I only applied sharpening to the whole picture.

The soft feel to this comes from a 2 sec exposure.

Thanks for all the feedback so far.

OK, but the land in the background didn't move in 2 seconds, any more than the boat did, but the boat looks really sharp and contrasty compared with the rest of the shot..

..guess its my screen. It is awful!

My aim, Mr South, is spot on, I'll have you know..

I really like it but can't help thinking it would look better with about 1/4 cropped from the bottom to remove some of the foreground

I will have a look at that, thanks.
