Tranquility by the Beach

[Phlarris]

Cropping and levels only in PSE5.

Comments welcome. As my Flickr comment says, 'This is why I want to live by the sea'

Love it to bits! One niggle is the little blurred items bottom left! Get that clone brush out otherwise superb!

 

[Phlarris]

Thanks for that. Obviously this is a crop from a larger image. The 'blurred bits' were grass that I included in the photo. However, on the crop, they do look a bit wrong.

Nice pics of India btw

Realy nice shot. I like the fact that you've got the 2 people and the dog on the beach. Kinda adds to the enjoyment feel to it

Great shot, well caught.

Oh I love the sea and this shot is brilliant. I want to be there walking on that beach

 

[Woodsy]

Well spotted! May I ask, what settings and focal length did you use?

 

[Phlarris]

400D + Sigma 70-200 f2.8
Shot at 200mm (1.6 * crop, so 320mm equivalent) on the tripod, 1/640 at f5.6

Really like it, only slight niggles are the blury bits bottom left someone else pointed out and the rock seems a bit to black almost like a hole in the picture.

 

[Phlarris]

Thanks everyone. Looking again, the rock does look very black. I've taken another look at the raw file, and there is quite a bit of detail in it, but I'd need to overexpose by around 2 stops to bring it out.

This makes me really want to hop on a train and go to the seaside *sighs* Gorgeous.
