Shelly Reflections

[dazza17]

Camera Canon EOS 550D
Exposure 0.002 sec (1/500)
Aperture f/7.1
Focal Length 17 mm
ISO Speed 100

Not sure if it needs cropping or some enhancement
I thought I would post here to see if its worth following up on.
Any thoughts?

Location:
Taken at Shelly beach, Sunshine Coast QLD on weekend at 1.33pm

Hey Dazza ... good to see another SEQld'er in the forums http://www.mtbdirt.com.au/_files/09coolthumbs.gif

I like the sky reflection in this shot and that's obviously the main subject. The actual sky is a bit blown out though.

For me, I think the composition would be stronger if there was either a) more real sky (not much but a bit more), or b) no real sky visible.
Also, the sea horizon should be level.

I'm totally uncertain if the colour cast works or not. I like it, but don't as well. I tend to be a colour person usually so perhaps that has something to do with my opinion. Not sure.

Anyhow ... welcome to the forums ... keep em coming :)

Hi Dazza!
Welcome to the forums and nice shot
MA gives a good critique here. I agree w/every point except the colour cast which is not distracting to me.
