Just a Hint

I do apologise, but I've been back at the beach...and it's another colour shot. I need help.
Best on black if you have time.
What keeps drawing you back to the beach... you're not thinking of wading out to oblivion are you? Heaven forfend! The tonal contrasts here are so delicately done - superb image young man. Fav.

A RAINBOW? Color overload! Please, please go in for counseling before it's too late! In the meantime, I'll fave this. :)
July 29th, 2015  
Love that little splash of colour. Maybe being in a job you enjoy brings out your colourful side?
July 29th, 2015  
Wow! Amazing shot! FAV!
July 29th, 2015  
Oh you needed to post this so no apologies. This is beautiful and the color isn't too shocking. ;)

Lovely delicate color, with the splash of color from the rainbow (how lovely). Very nice on black. Maybe your new job has brightened your outlook?

@golftragic Thank you kindly
July 30th, 2015  
As title says it's only a hint. Fabulous darling!
July 30th, 2015  
@newbank Why thank you :)
July 30th, 2015  
you can be so subtle when you want to be. just enough colour without going overboard.
(just wondering are you shooting in camera black and white or converting after... on the other days i mean)
July 30th, 2015  
@kali66 Subtlety is not my strong suite...and I always shoot in B&W. Always. I just seem to "see" things better in B&W than in colour if that makes any sense.
July 30th, 2015  
@graemestevens yes it does, but just as an observation, it also explains a certain lack of contrast in your images, the camera fudges it , you cant really get the ooomph that way, meaning black blacks and white whites and the whole spectrum in between. . if your camera has the ability you should maybe try shooting in RAW as well as jpg. that way you could fiddle with them more in Lightroom or whatever software you have, and delve into the fine arts of black and white conversion . at the very least try giving your images more contrast in post-processing anyway to make the POP, try it, you will like it.
July 30th, 2015  
@kali66 i am referring here to your landscapes rather than your indoor self portrait work
July 30th, 2015  
Thought you might edit the colour out.... what does a B&W rainbow look like anyway?
July 30th, 2015  
@kali66 Thanks for that - I do shoot in RAW and have lightroom, so I'll try to give my processing a few tweaks.
@alinz Not at all, and much better ;)
July 31st, 2015  
@kali66 Actually, when I import into Lightroom it tends to convert them to colour anyway!
July 31st, 2015  
@graemestevens RAW are always colour.
July 31st, 2015  
@kali66 Huh, every day is a school day
July 31st, 2015  
love the rainbow, very nice
July 31st, 2015  
@mahjongfan Thank you kindly ;)
July 31st, 2015  
Wow love the drama!
August 1st, 2015  
How did I miss this one!! (Well I didn't because I'm writing this) Wonderful splash of color in the sky and refection across the water! Nice tonal adjustments to create a lovely image!
August 1st, 2015  
@photographycrazy Thank you very much :)
@radiogirl Thank you kindly :)
August 1st, 2015  
Nice! The rainbow is just a trick of the light. Lets see it in B&W to find out if it has any substance!
August 3rd, 2015  
That color just keeps creeping into your photos, doesn't it?! Another FAV!
August 6th, 2015  
@yrhenwr If I could set fire to that rainbow I would ;)
@panthora It must be stopped!
