Saw Robert's sunrise pictures of Cape Canaveral and I was inspired to see if I could capture a sunrise myself. Would love feedback on this picture. Comments Appreciated.
Hi Jill,
I think you came pretty close to Robert's Canaveral seashore images........a few things to think of.......the dark silhouette things on the bottom are distracting........so a combination of clone/patch tool/ and crop took care of it. I took the fast and easy way out with the color correction by using shadow/highlights.....with shadow tonal width at 43 and the highlight amount at 33. A little color correction also made it pop more. Let me know what you think.
Nice to know that I inspired you and your did a great job, I like this image a lot. Agree with Roman on the immediate FG as not enough of it is in the image. Including a larger strip would make it a good anchor but Roman's fix is the way to go with image. With the FG's, anytime I can get the water rushing onshore is nice patterns with the sunrise colors reflected, I will include the shore. If not, I will make an image like yours w/o any shore.
I like the motion blur in the clouds as they look like there are coming at you. This is a well executed image. Thanks for sharing it with us.
I like Roman's rework, mainly the elimination of the shoreline. The sky is a little blown for my taste, i'm surprised Roman didn't suggest a 3 stop soft nd. =) Still, an eye-catching image.
