Driftwood
Just a little color with the greys. Comments appreciated. Cliff

Cliff, I like this one a lot just as it is. The ominous sky contrasting the ethereal sea with a splash of color to anchor the foreground really make this a great shot. Well done!

I like where this is headed Cliff, but would recommend comparing a version with the log saturated less.

A contemplative image with a Zen feeling to me. I actually like the over-the-top color of the stone (?). It appears purposeful, with all other colors in the scene being muted and ominous. My only issue is too much bottom underneath the stone.

Edit: Now that I stare at the taller sea stack, the GND is apparent on it's top. You might want to dodge the top of it a tad to even it out.

Thank you all for the comments! Yes, i used a gnd 3 hard, and will try dodging the top of the sea stacks, and will try desaturating the piece of driftwood, its pretty bright on a print also. Thanks again. Cliff
