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


Thanks All

Hey Dazza ... good to see another SEQld'er in the forums

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.
