Ghostly Ocean
I shot this at the ocean last weekend. I can't quite make up my mind on this one. It has a soft and ghostly look to it unlike the rest of my shots from this area during the sunset. Your input would be much appreciated.

I dont know either Erik...I keep wanting more contrast or something. I guess it works for me.

Cool, as in cold. To me it needs a more dynamic FG element and the whisps of FG water scatter in to many directions. :wavey:

I'm thinking more on the contrast, too.... Nice comp by the way! :cool:

I like the pastels. Great comp, maybe a tab contrast but don't lose the pastel feeling. :cool:

Thanks for the comments folks. I really did boost up the contrast quite a bit already. I've just gone over this particular image so many times I've lost all perspective with it. Your comments really helped me climb back into reality. Thanks again! :toast:

I find it rather unique! My only nit would be to remove what appears to me to be a couple sensor dust spots and that somewhat bright white spot at the edge of the water.

I like it Erik!
