Hey y'all! Here is my idea for LPS10. Any thoughts or should I head back to the drawing board? :wink TIA

Hey there, Travis!

Love the pano and the lighting but have no idea what my focus should be. There is no clear direction for my eye.

Good luck and keep shooting!

Wow!

As to following the theme, that's anyone's guess, where's the surf? But the photo is great. I personally would want something in the photo to be much brighter, just below the point of being blown out, but that's only me... One thing bothering me is that the moon's full side seems to be pointing up to about 1:30 on a clock scale, when if the sun has set to the right, it would seem that it'd be pointing more to about 4. If you put that moon in there, you need to flip it 90 degrees.

Jesse, Mark
I appreciate the feedback.

This photo is kind of an experiment (aren't they all???) It was practically dark when I shot it and I wanted to capture the fleet sleeping at night but lighten it enough to see detail. The moon was not added after the fact - it was a little southeast and the sun had set in the northwest.

As for a point of focus.... hmmmmmm... I need to work on that one....

Thanks!

Overall I love the shot but have to agree.

Hi, Travis!

I'd like to see a closer up shot, without the railing blocking the boats, like maybe shooting from the boardwalk, directly at the bow(s) of one or two boats, with that super wide of yours (I thought the moon was pasted, too).

I also agree with HoofClix that some brighter color would help a lot.

Good luck!

Hi Travis,

As far as the theme, I'm leaning towards it not being strong enough, probably due to all of the detail in it. I find it very interesting and beautiful. I can picture that in a travel brochure.

I took a photo of a bunch of mossy rocks in a small mountain stream. I was ready to scrap the photo because I saw no focal point, but everyone that looked at it said that it drew them in, and I was forced to keep it. I think the interesting dock that curves into the b/g on the left and right draws my eyes in - I liked looking at it.

(my brother's name is Travis and I think I've only heard it one other time around here - it's not very common - I like it)

Thanks everyone!
I'm working on couple of new ideas now; however, your critique of this attempt has given me a pretty good idea of the approach I need to take. Now if the weather will cooperate, I can put it use.

Thanks!

Your brother must be very cool, intelligent, creative, and dashing - it is an exclusive club.

Then again, my dad fought to name me Luther - I don't know what that says....

That's exactly what my brother tells me - it MUST be true!!!
