Sully Island Sunset 2

this is another one from the evening on the beach at Sully Island. this time I have cropped a lot of sky and messed about with a couple of control points in Capture NX in the foreground to bring out some shadow detail although i am not sure about whether I have overdone the saturation, is it too "blue", is the overall picture too dark?

Thanks for the C+C from the last post, I tried cropping some sky and yes, it works although I liked the gradient in the sky so have decided to keep it as originally posted.

specs:
D200
sigma 10-20mm @ 12mm
F11
1/13s
iso 100
-0.3EV
ND grad

cheers John

Now this I like, mood and darkness work just fine for me

I like this one. Great colors. Great sharpness.

Hi John, I like this and not too dark or blue at all. My only nit would be the lump of sand / seaweed at the base of the frame - it disrupts the patterns in the sand above and catches some reflected light. Think you could crop it out and not lose much, if any, of the patterns

Very nice. Very moody & great light

Very nice

Thanks for the C+C chaps, Magnus, I had a go at cropping the rock at the bottom of the frame but it results in the picture becoming "squarer" and it seems to lose some of the sense of perspective. I might try selectively darkening that area to reduce the reflected light.

Cheers

John

Magnus, does this work for you?
