Blimey! I wouldnt fancy coming out of THAT sea in my bikini!

Nice shot, Steve, and a good choice for B&W

[Steve]

Nice shot boon, good subject matter, nice lead in lines, focal piont and black & white conversion. Just watch for level horizons (or in this case the perception of level horizons) Its only a tiny bit off but with the vertical walls seemingly leaning to the right as well, it makes the whole picture feel as though it is lower on the right. Sometimes we deliberately use a slight off level horizon to balance the shot and this is one of those times where it would have worked.

Lovely shot. God's best kept secret that bit of coastline. Hoping to be back up there soon.

[Boon]

thank you.
@janice, believe me you definately wouldn't, (remember grace darling)
@steve, thank you for these much needed answers, it gives me an incite into what to look out for when shooting again.
@ fangman, i agree with you, we just love the north of the country and cant wait to go back to SEahouses again.
Thank you all

Boon, this shot doesn't really need re-shooting, it just needs a slight rotation to the left and then reframing again to sort the minor issues. Obviously it’s good to know what to look for next time you are shooting but don't discount correcting things like this during post processing.

If you do the adjustments I am sure that you will be surprised at the amount of difference that one small thing can make to the overall impact and enjoyment of this shot.

Ken???

What?

[Boon]

i have rotated the picture slightly left, and using the crop tool i have straightened out the leaning horizon line.



thank you for the help

[Steve]

Thats much better Boon but if you want to take it a step further you can also straighten the verticals as well


I added a touch of sharpening also to bring out the detail in the brickwork.
