Re: Seascape

Sorry, but I am sure this looked a great shot when you took it, but for me it is just a lot of water and nothing that really grabs the eye.

Yep thats what you get with Seascapes John, loads of water

Nothing to be sorry about though, i am getting used to rejection, in fact i thrive on it

Actually i am beginning to scrape the bottom of the barrel with my Norway Pics, heres another one from the same spot, taken next morning when the sun came out for an hour

Made me laugh


Back to the pictures, not too sure about #1 nothing really there for me colours seem a bit dull.

#2 is a different kettle of fish. Like the reflection here and a nice sky. The colours are a lot better in this one

Re: Seascape

Looks like the first one is gaining a bit of a reputation on here, i suspect its a bit ahead of its time

Re: Seascape

Like the 2nd one, it's a bit willy wonky but who cares

Were you floating on the water for this one?

Re: Seascape

2nd shot is nice, shows one downside of the 10-20 with landscapes tho, lotta sky and foreground.

Work on your PP tho, remove the dust bunnies etc !!
