Rough Draft Island
Hey all,
Haven't posted here in a while. Here is a rough draft I've been working on with the laptop so not sure about the color and contrast but really just posting to see you all can find some flaws here. Besides what needs to be cloned out on the sand.

Thanks for any ideas.

Very pretty,Steve. I like the color combination here. You have a warm
sunrise or sunset and the cool colors in the flowers.

Steve, the composition looks really good, as you stated, some more work on the color and contrast and it will be very nice. :cool:

Looks pretty good so far, at least on my crappy work monitor.

Steve,

Very pretty seascape - looks great. Hard to see any flaws here, especially at this small size; can't even tell what needs to be cloned out in the sand. ;-)

Looks like WA or OR, certainly not Southern California, right?

Nice balance of color and different elements throughout this comp. Is that a little cactus in the LRC? As others have said, it's hard to say what needs to be cloned out at this size. If there's any banding in the large size around the sun's halo I might work on that, but other that that this looks really good to my eyes. Well done!

Thanks guys, posted the new version in ESS.

Eric, that is a very hairy lupine cacti. Very rare species :wink:
