Santa Pola Marina

I took some pictures at Santa Pola Marina, South of Alicante Spain. Here is one of them. This one has the ND 110 filter. C & C welcome.

Re: Santa Pola Marina

Like the compsition, but it seems very bright to me. The detail in the sky has been lost a fair bit. There also seems to be a bit of blurring on the boats, no doubt due to the long exposure, but I find it detracts from the effect.
I've never used a ND filter so can't offer any advice really.

Re: Santa Pola Marina

Sorry, but this doesn't work for me. The motion blur of the boats and ropes plus the colour of the water are the main problems IMHO.

Re: Santa Pola Marina

Yeah I think that this is one of those times when you don't want to use that filter. It's just made everything look soft and out of focus. Sorry.
