Ripple...
A simple shot of some beautiful colors on the Oregon coast. I really loved the sublte lines the ripples in the sand made. Thanks for looking.
Do yall think this image is strong enough for print? I love the color, just not sure if it is dynamic enough. Opinions appreciated. :smile:

I love the simplicity of it. I was there was something else added to the mix - contrast in the sky could be bumped a bit also. Not sure if I saw this in a card rack if I'd pick it up..... but you never know.

Hmmm...beautiful image...but I dont think it's gonna be a stunning print. Chock this one up to a great stock photo. It would be great with some text on it.

It is beautiful. I can see this selling in the stock sector. There is lots of room for text.

I love the sand texture in the forground, It may be hard to hold using the canvas printing you plan to do. As I noted in your last post it looks a little too dark for me. That may be the look you desire but just for fun try this and see how it looks.

open curves and set a point at rgb 24/24 and another at 127/127. use the arrow keys to bump 127/127 up 8 points and left 8 points or so. Then bump 24/24 to the right 2 or 3 points creating a slight "s" curve and increasing contrast. See what you think.

Jeremy, I live the simplicity of it and the textures.

I love it! I wouldn't trust the jpeg visually and go with you master Tiff or PSD printed to truly judge it.

Oh yeah! I'm all over it! This would look so, so good at 17x22 dripping out of my printer on some nice Moab Entrada! (hint, hint)

Dont listen to Mark's critiques...especially if they end in "this would look good printed out of my printer" lol... :wink:
