Another angle from Grafham Water last week.

Very nice compo and proccessing

I like the lone fisherman sitting on the end of the land. It adds to the calm peaceful look.

Very nice!

That is a very well seen composition. I don't like the black border but that's all I don't like.

[Terry]

That's a very nice shot. Well taken

[Korky]

A lovely image - calm, serene, soothing.

 

A great composition and super processing. As The Fuzzmeister says, it needs to be seen BIG.

Nice work, the open gate leads you right into the picture .

Does it for me - a touch of HDR too John?

Possibly a touch too much HDR for my taste, but even so it's a gorgeous scene and beautifully captured. 

[Denis]

Superb image, top marks!

An interesting comparison here between Bill's softer approach to post processing and this slightly harder illustrative method, I very much, like both.

Why? .......Because each photographer, has see the original view both in his viewfinder, then, more importantly, has has the creative vision to enhance what he sees and wants.

This latter process can take some time to develop, in some it is innate ( already there) and in others it takes time to evolve as experience and viewer comments give feedback.

I was ( in my distant past) a set designer and scene painter, I would have given my right hand to have used digital HDR photography as inspiration, very similar to my very recent experience of painting a large mural of the Yorkshire Dales, when I actually used an enhanced photograph of the scene.

Just like I don't care for Milky Water .....our Chris doesn't care for HDR or obvious enhancements.........

Having been on the receiving end of more comment and critisism than most, because of my past theatre work ( seen by thousands) I soon realised that, as an individual, you will only please some of the people some of the time.......a walk round any art or photograph gallery will prove that.

Likewise, I have posted the same photograph on here and on two other of my favourite Photo Forums, only to receive apposing opinions and advice re processing and cropping.....

Now, I'm going to make an observation from life, that may, or may not help you.......

Some are born with a brain and temperament that eats sleeps and breaths logic, numeration, organizing, music composing and playing, a tidy methodical mind that likes thing in sets and in place.

At the other end of the scale, there are others, like myself, whose brain and personality that just refuses to make sense of numbers, logic or organising, is rather untidy, chaotic, but posessing a free spirit of a mind that likes to wander, ponder and create.

In between are all the others, lucky enough to possess both, these are the great musicians, scientists, etc......all of us are on this spectrum somewhere.

When you get closer to the end of the perch like what I am ;-) .........Relax and smell the coffee.

Paul.

I try to reproduce what I see and in this case as I was looking into the light, I had to give it a lift on processing to balance the bright sky against the dark foreground.
