That is a really good pic there Jackpea ! IMO if you cropped 25% (ish) right and bottom it adds impact ... definitely imo though !

And that gull ... shame it did not fly faster, or slower and end up a bit left, or right of the sun ! Good capture all the same !

TFS ...
 
Its certainly a good image. Think I'd have gone for just a bit more contrast.

Good shot, but less sea and more sky would have made it even better.

Precisely what I was trying to say ... guess you put it more succinctly GfK ! ;)
 
I'm not sure I see a better crop there, but it's a really nice shot Jack. I just think you could make a lot more of that sky and the sea. :)

I had a play with it before i commented. I was looking to get something like CTs version. I improved it but didn't get it that far :)

What did you do CT? Was it just contrast and saturation?
 
It's a 'fudged' HDR process Robert.

I saved Jack's original jpeg as a TIFF file totally unaltered. Next you create two further TIFF copies of the image, one darker and one lighter. To create the darker one I just lower the gamma, and to create the lighter one, raise the gamma. You're looking for a rough one or two stops difference between each image.

Opened the 3 images in Photomatix and generated a HDR image, then applied tone mapping.

Opened the HDR image in PSP and adjusted sharpness, contrast etc for the best result. Finally save the image again as a jpeg.(If it's for the web)

It's a lot easier and quicker than it probably sounds. :)
 
very nice, shows what can be done with a good image!
