Those clouds definately have an eery feel about them, love the composition aswell, all those lines but still the image appears clean and uncluttered

Marianne · 02-01-2006, 20:07

lol...just asked Barry what amiage was and worked out that its meant to be image ha ha

Warspite · 02-01-2006, 20:09

Oops - sorry about that

(corrected now)

Marianne · 02-01-2006, 20:11

ohh....lol
Thanks for the positive comments....I love the moody sky in this shot, the light on the boats was magical

Venomator · 02-01-2006, 20:13

I have to say I like this a lot too - a fantastic feel about it ! Clarity in the boats and a great overbearing cloud formation - manipulated much ? Touche ! (without the accent !)

Matty · 02-01-2006, 20:14

nice, good compostition and interesting, and cloudy, could do with a bit more pep though, if you know what i mean

Marianne · 02-01-2006, 20:19

Venomator...I think I added a touche (with the accent)of studio soft light filter which is part of my favourite editing programme called Photobrush.

Matty....erm.....no, what do you mean m8?

CT · 02-01-2006, 20:23

Lovely. The processing is just right IMO and with the horizon on a vertical third and the boats on a horizontal third the compostion is great too.

It's just that damned mooring rope and the litter lying about, or it would be a real postcard shot.

Marianne · 02-01-2006, 20:25

its hard to see in this small shot but the litter is fishing nets strewn around....

Ah... gotcha.

Matty · 03-01-2006, 13:22

cant do what i have in mind as i dont have the necessary software here, but im sure you will all be excited to know i will do it later!

dazzajl · 03-01-2006, 17:00

That is a very lovely shot indeed.

One small thing to mention that you may well have dismissed at the time of shooting is the camera postion.

If you could have gone a little higher the bow section of the closest boat would have sat under the red deck line of the far boat and give a little more form to both of them.

A small point though as the sky and the light are truley breathtaking.

Do you mind if I save a copy of that sky please ? Cracking for use on some other shots

Marianne · 03-01-2006, 17:52

haha...be my guest but I want royalties lol

Matty · 03-01-2006, 20:37

this is what i had in mind, a slightly contrasty look, and its certainly wont be to everyones taste...

at one time this effect was highly overused, but on an image like this i think it works quite well, Obviously this is just my personal preference, most of you wont like it!

AnnaBanana · 03-01-2006, 22:02

Marianne, that is a stunning photograph. That sky is phenomenal - so atmospheric. What an eerie light is in this photo - really great!

Love the nice clean, uncluttered lines of this.

Excellent work!

Marianne · 03-01-2006, 22:05

wow..thanks Anna!
Matty, is it the flashlight effect in PS? I quite ike it but I also like my version
