Sunrise on Lagoon

Out of camera, no added saturation.​

fantastic colours and a great reflection

Hi mark, that's a real beauty.

Stunning sunset, with beautiful colours.

The only thing I might be tempted to do is crop some off the right hand side, and make it more of a square crop.

Beautiful. With Ewan on the crop.

Must be spring in Tasmania.

Thanks Andrew.

Thanks Toby, and yes it is spring here although I have to tell you that it is very hot compared to normal; more like early summer.

Thanks Ewan, Yes, maybe it would be better cropped as you suggest. It may be one of those compositions where the "Thirds Rule" should be disregarded.

OK, here's the crop. Do you like it better?

i prefer the original
the vibrancy and irregular nature of the sky carry the dark areas for me

[Ewan Hitchcoe]

MMM, i Think it might be a slight improvement, but i cant quite make my mind up.

Thanks Andrew.

That's a lovely image Mark... ... in its original form for me too though...


The reflection looks like a big dog with a long thin muzzle...

Thanks guys, I actually prefer my original for much the same reasons as Andrew does.

Ah Venomator, what you see in the shape of the reflection I'm sure has some deep psychological significance - a sort of Rorschach test perhaps?

 

[horrocks]

Yeah, the original is better after all. The crop shows up a loss of sharpness.

Hi Toby, sorry for not responding sooner, I didn't notice that this post had almost slipped off the page.

Image quality loss was caused by having cropping the posted shot at the top of the page and then reposting it, instead of editing the original.
