thanks for looking

Interesting composition. Although the white balance looks off to me, too green? Also don't like the shore line being broken on the right hand side of the frame.

Also have you processed on a selection because there's a serious line round the rock and headland that show up on the larger Flickr version, so it's not compression.

Looks like sharpening and clarity set all the way up. When they shouldn't be anywhere near there. Nothing should be going past 50% adjustment really.

And yes it is super green. You might as well go black and white - too little colour to keep it.

I think you need to check your colours first. But thanks for the input

Thanks but I think it isn't too green and compliments my image rather well thank you. I wouldn't normally break the shoreline, but it revealed to much dead space on the cliff face for me

I'd probably go along with the others on the green cast and the line around the rock, though I like it as an image.

If the photo looks like it has normal colour balance on your computer, could it have been exported in something other than sRGB? That can cause odd colour casts sometimes in incompatible browsers.

It might be worth just double checking your monitor to make sure it's calibrated. It could well be that you're seeing a normal looking image with a monitor that's not showing the right colours. Reason I mention it is because... well... it looks a bit too green to me too.

But its only slightly cut off, it doesn't look like a considered decision that was made but something that was missed. If you've cropped that side I would suggest extending it by just a few pixels to include the shore's edge, it would look much better.

If you genuinely think it's better like this then fine but it seems like you're finding reasons to justify it.

A bit green to my eye too - a tad too oversharpened/too much clarity but I do like the composition.

Miles better. Pretty neautral and life like.

I am sorry to have to agree with everyone else but the first to me does seem to have a colour cast. The second is much better both composition and colour wise for me.

Much better Mark, it's a great shot.
