I'm always afraid to comment on your photos, because you know so much more about this than I do. And I need to look into how to do gradients for sky...

anyway, I really like the shot. Love the red and love the softness of the boat. Wonderful colors, as well. AP is right - vibrant, but not artificial. It's time you start a mentor series on doing this.

The colors and tones really 'pop', so vibrant yet not artificial.. would love to know this style of processing

For some reason I didn't think of you Robert. I'm not sure why...it has your style. It grew on me and I gave a nice bump at the end.

8 - Nice feel with the processing - not too overdone for this simple scene.

Real nice image. I like the HDR here. The sky is pretty dramatic.

Moody shot. Great colors. The motion of the sky and the light hitting the front of the shed are what I like best.

Simple scene, well captured and processed.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Oh, very nice! I especially like the contrast of the red against the much more natural color palate. Wonderful exposure and really superb composition.. If this isn't Bear_Music's image, you two should hang out sometime!

Beautiful scene and photograph...that boathouse really explodes from this photo!

Immaculate composition - great colours too.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I like the mutedness, and the mood. Good detail despite the almost low key light......7

Gorgeous. Tremendous eye for the light; simple and striking composition; and a fine hadn with the processing.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Though I like the overturned boat and setting, this boathouse isn't interesting enough, imo, to command the attention the photo is giving it, even though the processing/lighting/colors improves it some.

Nice, simple, peaceful composition.

Very nice, eyes pleasing image.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/22/2010 06:05:32 PM
Great image and well processed as well, the colours are really spot on. Also like the thin border as it finishes off the image and gives a prfesssional look to it. A ,little more space to the rigth showing more of the bay would have been great, but that is also my preference for panoramic landscape images.

Composition, sky, color set the mood. Verrrry nice.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Bear? This is gorgeous! I have a thing for red sheds anyway. Love the composition and the light is wonderful. Did you shine a light on the shed or is that from HDR? I assume this is HDR because you have detail in the foreground even though it's sunset. But definitely not overdone HDR.
