Challenge: Your Corner of the World III (Basic Editing)
Camera: Nikon D90
Lens: Nikon AF-S DX 18-105 f/3.5-5.6 ED VR
Location: Mudeford, Dorset
Date: Oct 17, 2009
Aperture: f/3.5
ISO: ISO-200
Shutter: 1/15 sec

Date Uploaded: Oct 19, 2009

Taken on Mudeford Quay, just down the road from my house in Dorset. This area is very nice, but I really am spoilt for beauty in this area, I wish I took advantage of it more often.

This is shot through my new ND4 and graduated ND8 filters, which I am very happy with.

PP - square crop, some colour balancing (only to bring the swans closer to "white"), Topaz layer "smooth and flat" blended at about 50% opacity to give it a painting-y feel, although not too much as I didn't want to lose to detail in the water. Then the usual DPC SFW blah.

ooh, I love the softness about this photo. The colors are beautiful. I wish the goose in the front was looking at the camera, that would make it even better

Lovely image. I like the soft colour. The composition of the swans is very good. Perhaps a bit of a crop on the right may enhance it a bit as there is a bit of empty space there. Also maybe some dodging on the couple of nearest swans to bring them out a bit. .6.
