I think its beautiful, have to agree that the saturation probably could go down a 'little' but I still think its gorgeous. The only other thing I see is for some reason the clouds and rocks are messing with my eyes. I dont know if they were sharpened or not, could be just me. Ive been looking at photos all day from a senior portrait shoot. (this is my break LOL)
I like the sky and the leading line of the walkway up to the small lighthouse. So.. a little bit of luck and some good composition of interesting subject matter definitely makes for a pretty picture.
I don't like the sharpening, but it could be due mostly to resizing.
Not to be defensive, but Flickr does add a sharpening pass upon upload. You all made me definately want to revisit the original in Lightroom. :thumbup:
Bitter, I think something in between the two would be nice. The first is an awsome shot but almost looks HDR from the PS. Love it tho. Nice work as always!
