Photograph Information Photographer's Comments
Challenge: New Year's Resolution III (Advanced Editing III)
Camera: Canon EOS-20D
Location: Skinflats near Grangemouth, Scotland
Date: Dec 31, 2004
Aperture: F10
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1/60
Galleries: Nature, Rural
Date Uploaded: Dec 31, 2004

 I decided to return to the site of last years submission for this challenge as I felt I should have submitted this shot(which ended up in my portfolio as "Winter sunset") rather than the "plane and moon" effort.
Same location but different composition and conditions.

Image cropped..adjustments to contrast (levels), saturation boosted and USM applied.
A little dodging and burning applied to the fence posts and water and some dust marks cloned out.
Finally a slight softening in Neat Image.

Like the post reflections, also good choice of apertures for the dof. (6)

A lot about this image is appealing to me, but I feel the composition is out-of-balance. There's not enough interest in the water to the left to sustain me, and the dynamics of the image are forcing me over there. I believe it would work better if the foreground were cropped so all of the third reflection from the right was visible, and only a bit more. Id this exact image were cropped to that more horizontal format, it would work better for me already; and if the picture had been framed that way, so there were more reeds at the top, it mught work better yet. Depends on what was up there, It's conceptually very nice.

Great concept, but i just can't get into this fence. I want a focal point for something that grabs my attention. Wish I would have thought of the brilliant idea, though. Great brain you have.

Great image and resolution match. The water pulling my eyes to the reflective fence then up the posts to the shoreline is wonderfully executed. Good luck with this challenge and HNY.
