Evening Light

Took my 10-20 zoom out for a walk along the shore in Morecambe Bay. Not sure about these shots myself, but Facebook and Flickr friends seem to like them!

Not so sure about the proportion of land:sky in the first, but the second one is amazing!

#2 is a corker

 

Although the halo around the rock needs attention

2nd  photo for me as well

I'll have a dollop of number two too! Very nice indeed.

 

I hadn't noticed the halo till it was mentioned, but now that I've seen it, it's a bit of an eye catcher.

I would love the second one on my wall

Thanks Phil! I did notice the halo and it's one of the reasons I'm really not sure about this picture. It doesn't appear on the original because the sky is very bright, but as soon at I bring the highlights down in Lightroom the halo appears. Maybe I could separate the background out and fix it in Photoshop; any ideas gratefully accepted.

Yes - that's one thing you could do. I had a go in Photoshop by selecting the upper portion of the rock, then transforming it slightly (up, left and right) just enough to hide the halo. Having said that, I didn't notice the halo until it was pointed out, and even then I didn't find it distracting.

 

 

 

 

(There's still a slight trace of halo lower left and right, which could be got rid of using a low opacity brush with the cloning tool).
