Following on from various comments, I've uploaded another version.



Changed the perspective (and hopefully sorted the horizon ) plus a bit more cloud accentuation in the overlay layer

Really like this! The processing is really nice, can't really tell what you've done to it but the sky certainly does look good.

Nice work Mike, it has bags of atmosphere. Horizon is also straight

[Markulous]

Agree that it looks much better straightened out even if it has lost the bottom sliver of groyne along the base. I'd also be tempted to crop a slice off the top - think the proportions would work better

Apologies for boring everyone again but here's the 3rd (and final ) installment


These border thingymewhatsits do make quite a difference to the overall presentation.

Shame I'm rubbish at them and thus they take forever

Thanks to everyone for their input in what has been quite a useful learning exercise for me.

I cant see the one in your last post but love the first image.

Like the crop! Less so the border/titling which looks over-complicated and detracts

[Whipspeed]

That crop works really well Mike, but I agree with Mark that the border is a bit too heavy for the shot.

[Rob Barron]

I like the final version for the crop and the other one for the border. Put that border back and I think you're on a winner there Mike, great treatment with bags of atmosphere. Well done.

Cheers,
Rob

I like the one with the dark border, the surf and the color look a little better. the one with the drop shadow seems a little flatter.
