Nothing much else in this image except the solitary iron cast figure looking out to an empty sea. It speaks to me of loneliness.
I am finding with editing that the difficult part is making the choices about how to edit rather than actually doing it. Here I have brought back some of the detail in the sky, I think perhaps I should have lightened the foreground - but time is against me now. I also removed a small distraction in the foreground.
i love shots like this. and the title is so apt. reminds us we are but a speck in this world. this makes my brain spin with possible stories. and isn't that the promise of a great photograph? aces!
I have photographed the Anthony Gormley installation, 'Another Place' a few times and it is very poignant and beautiful. Each time you go back the sea, the light and the clouds give different effects. It reminds me I ought to take my group with me soon! I think you have captured the moodiness of this installation with gentle clouds, a silhouette figure that represents those that emigrated to the New World. The colouration of the sea is appropriate and I do rather enjoy the slight russet colours in the water. I don't think the sea should be lightened, you need it darker to anchor the image and allow the viewers eye to go to the figure. I think you are doing alright!!
