Sunset on Block Island

Comment by JunieMoon:
The sky is really colorful. Love that part of it. The lower part of the image, though, is really showing a lot of artifacts, probably due to an image that started out very underexposed. Need to either try a longer shutter speed, or maybe a higher iso, though that can create artifacts too. If you have an express fix on your program, that might also create artifacts. Brightness and contrast adjustments seem to work better, along with dodging. You might also try to spot edit some of the artifacts out, or maybe apply a noise reducer to clear it up.

this is nice but could benefit from some sharpening and the saturation may be too much.

beautiful colors but it appears a little over sparpened on the water

a very nice image, but the over saturation takes away from the final result, i thing.

Looks like you intentionally kept a lot of the photo out of focus, but it doesn't really work for me. I'd have like it better if more of the leash in the foreground were in focus.

Interesting attempt, but DOF is way too shallow for me

I wish the rope had slightly more in focus and the dog just ever so slightly more in focus as well.

Strange but interesting.

As a newbie with no formal training, I am curious as to its technical correctness.....

I would have liked a little more clarity at the foreground end.

Would like to be able to make out some of the background more clearly. subject is small and somewhat obscure. Lighting effects are very nice. Looks like a beautiful dog back there!

the basic idea is a good one but the execution didn't pull it off. It would have liked the photo more if it were, not necessarily in complete focus, but was less cloudy. I would've also liked it more if more of the rope had been completely in focus
