Orient Lagoon

Near my house:

LAGOON
​

I think it looks a little better on a black background. A border maybe?
Crits and comments always welcome!

Nice image, but it's what I'm not seeing that has me wondering. I'm thinking there's a potential pano here.

Hey cool!

I wish... to the right are some uninteresting buildings and a parkinglot. To the left is mostly a very full parking lot. If I could float out to the buoy I might have a chance at something tho.

Here's a little wider shot of it before the second crop:

From the bottom edge (in the second image) begins a boring parking lot with lots of cheep k-cars which was cropped off in the 1st crop. The second crop took out the foreground structures as seen in the top image.

Did the sky really look like that, or is it a filter or your settings? Looks impressive either way!

Thanks,

Well, my first instinct as a photographer is to lie and say it was just like that and >I< captured it!

The truth is however, that the sky was 100% white and cloudless. That is my doodle. 100% drawing in photoshop.

I like both shots.

Thanks R-Jack!

Thank you,

Besides the sky being white and blank the ocean was also a very uninteresting deep dark and even grey. So all of the tones and blues were added by processing selections and more drawing.


So now that I've spilled the beans I feel so cheap. Hehehe
