Larry, this is potentially an absolute KILLER good shot. I'm glad you asked for comments and I got to see this.
One interesting thing; the horizon does not "feel" quite level even though it actually is. The reason why is cuz you've pointed the camera down quite a bit and so the lighthouse itself is leaning outwards near the top of the frame. Now, this can be fized with POS perspective control, and I'd be inclined to try that.
Another issue is the radial banding in the sky; I'm not sure if that's just an artifact of compression or visible at a larger size as well; but I do know that I process a lot of shots similar to this and don't have a problem with it. I see it's a 98kb image, so that may explain it.
Finally, I see here a prime candidate for some subtle contrast masking. If you'd like to send me the original jpg (or a full-size jpg from RAW if that's what you shot) I'd love to experiment with this shot. My e-mail's on my profile. |
