Crop above the 2 right orange clouds?

Very nice

No, just straighten the horizon. Then you have a picture which is good to go.

Maybe a stupid question, but has this been edited?

It's nice and reminds me of this..............

Thats a really nice shot. Agree about straighten up the horizon, apart from that looks really good!
Well done

 

[AshMashMash]

Stunning picture! Nice!

 

[lochgilp]

I love that!! Stunning!!

 

[mameemonsters]

Nice one, I like the dreamy look of it..and the colours of the clouds are just fantastic!

 

[nikonuser]

Nice shot - did you use an ND filter, if so, what stops and how long was your exposure please.
Thanks
Dave

Milky water does nothing for me im afraid, just looks unreal.

 

[Bendihossan]

Perhaps a bit too contrasty but a gorgeous image none the less.

 

[jollyjack]

Very nice, i like it

 

[AndyWest]

Very impressive! Love the water!

There is no reference point as they are waves left and right of frame, I'll have another tweek at it and see, cheers.

Not a stupid question at all, yes I've added quite a lot of fill light in lightroom as the I preferred it with light on the rock, all of the editing was done in LR then sharpened in PS. Original on the left.

Never had an image of mine compared to Edward Munch, I can see where your coming from with the flow from the sea.

Yes I used a .9GND soft (must save up for a hard) and it was a 2 second exposure.

I love slow milky water for me it adds movement, but appreciate it's a marmite thing.

Many thanks for your comments

I was just looking through other landscape posts on here. most weren't great, then I got to this. OK it's just the sea and a rock, but the colours are great.. The smoothness of the water has a nice calming feel to it.

Only criticism is the most mentioned one on here, the horizon.

 

[simmo]

I love water shot like this it gives a fantasy feel to the scene, great job the horizon not a big deal to me

 

[barrypriddis]

Looks like im in a majority of one! Thank heaven we dont all like the same thing.

I like this shot. I like seeing the striation lines in the water as opposed to the usual misty milky look of a very long exposure.

I'm guessing this was a 1/2 to 1 second shot ?

It was 2 seconds, like you say I've some others that have that misty quality to them, which I'm also partial too.

misty/milky/smooth water can be an over-done thing and often applied to the wrong sort of circumstances but here it does fit in with the feeling of the image. I think adding too much fill-light does make a it a bit unreal on the rock given the shadows, perhaps at time of capture a 1 stop soft filter moved just above the rock with a bit extra exposure would have helped..?
I'm also wondering where this might be now

That's a good idea I might try and replicate that in lightroom.

Cheers.

Very nice shot
