I would have chose a different perspective for this one but I obeyed the no trespassing sign. I am not so happy with the lack lighting on the dock. I did however love the colors and that chair looked so inviting. I think I could sit there all day. I read a discussion on HDR the other day on this site. I know a lot of people don't like the way people use it. I realize I may have over cooked this a bit. I wanted a surreal look. It is all a learning process for me.
I love this! and i don't have a problem with HDR at all....personally those that complain about it in my eyes are just jealous that they cant get the same effects! This is pure art and everyone has their own interpretation of it so keep up the great work Pam...this is a fav for me :D x
Great capture. I actually like the perspective. Don't know much about HDR, in fact I don't know much about photography, but I think its the artists interpretation and how they meld the medium to their liking. I think its looks great. Has a peaceful, calm feel to it. Especially like the color and texture on the boat. In some ways it combines the photo together. The top color is reminiscent of the water, where as the bottom color of the boat compliments the dock.
Oh I like it. The way you've processed it it looks like it could be a painting. Very cool effect. Love the subject matter...a dock, boat and an adirondack chair....very nice.
I don't hink it's overcooked at all. I would have liked to see a little more depth in the wood on the dock, but i think that's got more to do with the colour of the wood! It is a beautiful peaceful shot with lovely light and reflections.
@kamb Thank you Karen for the feedback. I appreciate it. I totally agree with you about the dock. I think a combination of the wood and not enough light. I wasen't really worried. I suppose just venting a tiny bit lol.
