[QUOTE="Guest 183, post: 2318, member: 183"] I produced an earlier critique of this image that I have deleted not because I thought that it was wrong but because I was critiquing the style of the photographer. Yes to my eyes it is oversaturated but that is opinion and the authors opinions are always the most important. A few factual things, the horizon is tilted (easily felt with), large and noticeable halos around the skyline, both lighter halos in the sky (easily felt with) and darker halos under the skyline (much harder to fix). The halos are the consequence of the processing style. My main concern however stems from the nature of the final image. This is obviously a beautiful calm day in Dorset with almost no waves and pleasant sunshine. I should be looking at and exploring the lovely sparkle on the water and the slight curving surf leading my eye to the lovely arch. Instead my eyes are grabbed by the sky which is totally at odds with the rest of the scene. The bottom half says gentle seascape, the sky screams Apocalypse. This a sky full of Cirrus clouds, the whitest clouds in the sky, they are delicate wispy but not in this image. If the image was full of drama with stormy seas battering in then the sky may well fit in but not here. Photographers need a range of processing styles to get the best out of the wide variety of conditions that they come across. Ken [/QUOTE]
