lucky sunset shot!

pwrbkdude · 25-08-2007, 16:01

Just one of those times you shoot 100 frames and you don't know what you got until you take a look! What does everyone think on this one... what could be better?

Not a lot - a nice shot with good silhouettes. I would take an inch of the bottom - firstly it will put your horizon on a third and secondly you will lose that distracting light.

Oh....I think I detect a little noise in the image so it would be worth running through Noiseware, Noise Ninja or even Photoshops own de-noise filter. Thanks for showing

I would take some off the left side. I just love sunset pictures. No matter what they are always different.

Because the sun + the tree are right up against the RH edge of the frame + there's not much on the LH part of the frame except an expanse of water, I'd crop most of the dead space off, like this ...

Image removed, but will re-post if you consent, dude.

A completely different image, with much more interest IMHO.

I agree with Stephen's suggestion re thre crop, and I also like Charlotte's portrait version that is more what I would be considering for this picture.

However, I must point out that pwrbkdude has not consented to mage editing, so strictly speaking, we ought no to do this.

Charlotte · 25-08-2007, 22:55

Quite right Graham. I didn't think pwrbkdude would mind, since it's just a crop (no other editing). However, you are correct in pointing out that I posted an edited copy of someone else's image without their permission ... Sorry dude, didn't mean to take liberties.

I like the concept. IMHO the image would be better served with whole tree framing the right and less water front on the left.

pwrbkdude · 26-08-2007, 00:03

Charlotte, would love to see your take on it! I don't mind as long as people ask permission

having other people play with my work is a new concept!

Charlotte · 26-08-2007, 00:30

Fair enough dude. Ok here's my crop, see what you think:

pwrbkdude · 26-08-2007, 05:32

hmmmm almost too much of "nothing" in the foreground... otherwise I love it! i never even thought to do that! i am a bit of a purist to sticking to what i shoot and how i compose it in the field
