    Tomorrow I head north again for another week up in the Parry Sound region of Ontario and am planning a hike along the Georgian Bay Rugged Hiking Trail. This is a 5 km trail that explores the granite shoreline of Georgian Bay that is full of photo opportunities at every turn. Here is a sunset scene I captured a couple of weeks ago when I was there last.

    Nikon 18-35mm lens @ 35mm
    ISO 100
    f16 @ 2.5 sec

    Looking forward to comments

    Hi Andrew..

    Its a nice scene, you are a lucky man with county like this. I think the rocks look a little crunchy (slightly over sharp..) and i would have composed so the leading line formed at the edge of the rocks and water was continious to the distant waters edge. ie, either a wider lens or sacrificed some of the lovely FG rocks and taken a step forward and turned to the right a little. my 2 cents..

    Nice scene here Andrew.
    I do think you raised midtone levels a bit too much, it's got an early-day HDR look to it in my view?
    I would be tempted to induce more of a blue hue to the water (which is a tad grey) and reduce the blues in the rocks...

    Beautiful color, Andrew.. and it's very serene. I hope you explored some macro shot here because the details on the rock are so beautiful!

    I really like the composition here Andrew but like Morkel I htink the mids are to bright along with the whole shoreline thye are brighter then the sky so look unnatural
