North Carolina Outer Banks

I took this photo this past weekend. The sky turned out pretty good for my tastes but the foreground is waaaay too dark in my opinion or is it?

Help!

Beautiful shot. :thumbup:

I would just crop most of it out and I should work out... What I did is just use the scroll to crop out the bottom of it so that the horizon was 1/3 from the bottom and it really (I think) improves the composition... GREAT COLORS I love the shot personally.

In fact it has a panoramic quality to it if you do that.

Yes I have to say using BoblyBill's instant cropping tool, I was really taken buy the image. I vote for the same crop. IMHO you will then have a damned fine image...So It was a real nice image that needed one tweak to take it home. Very nice work!

Can Take your image and crop it to show you my idea?

Cannot but agree: the "instant cropping tool" (i.e. doing some "scroll-cropping" ) showed me, too, that one rid of the amount of dark foreground this is ONE good photo!

Looks like if the dark area at the bottom were lightened up just a bit and brought out some of the fence detail in the foreground it wouldn't have to suffer a crop. Fine photo either way. Excellent colors.

Nice photo. I agree with the crop idea. The colors are beautiful.

Fantastic colours and to be like the rest of the herd, by removing a bit of the bottom, the darkness no longer takes control of the pic and makes those fantastic colours even more emphasized.

Stunning colors! I agree, lose a bit of the foreground and the photo pops even more. Nicely done!
