Canary Island Sunset

[DaveS]

Taken from the balcony of the cruise ship, which was moored in the harbour.

 

Little time to think about this one, as my wife was nagging me to hurry up and get changed for dinner   , so it was a matter of grab the camera and quickly grab the 'shot'.

LOVELY.....maybe crop that bit of boat or harbour in the bottom left corner??

[Korky]

A really lovely sunset - that exposure looks just about spot-on.

 

I agree re the bottom left corner, but maybe clone rather than crop - and maybe a tiny tweak on the horizon level. Or are my NHS specs playing up?

[DaveS]

Thanks guys.

 

"Now you see it, now you don't" the harbour wall is now 'cloned out'

 

Not sure what you mean about the horizon level 'korky ?

[Jon]

very nice, liking the shafts of sunlight 

[DaveS]

Ah!!, I've just sussed what you mean re the horizon 'korky' 

 

So, here it is with the image rotated a tad, and the horizon now horizontal to the eye, when the image is viewed.

 

This meant cropping some of the image after rotation, so its a tad smaller than it was, and of course resaving it has compressed the resolution a bit.

I think that's improved the image considerably - very nice!

 

The horizon just didn't look right to me - perhaps for you it was a case of not being able to see the wood for the trees. I wish I'd a tenner for every time I've been guilty of it.

A lovely capture! and the cloning and straitening has brought it to perfection.
 

[DaveS]

Thanks for all the comments, and the constructive input.

 

'Korky', I'm sure that the older you get, the number of trees in the wood, increases

Ah! But Korky.......you are always at a slight list to Port.......or......is it Sherry.....when matron isn't looking?

Seriously though the pic has been much improved by the suggested editing.

^{Thanks Annie, but what were you doing up at 03.47 , not out in the garden chasing bugs again?}  

 

^{I thought it was only us astro-imagers that were sat a the PC in the 'dead of night'.}

As Annie puts it, she keeps lorry drivers hours. lol

[annie]

nanny is correct................lol

[Heather]

beautiful and very peaceful image.   the cloning and straightening has just polished the diamond
