Imagine my delight when I saw this. Atlantic ocean on the right the Bahama bank on the left and a thin layer of clouds just like the island.
What an amazing match of form and texture! The scene is so simple yet very powerful and beautiful. This is the kind of scene that makes me slow down and think.
It is not complicated (rocks, water, sky) but is just so powerful and bold that it really grabs my attention.
At first I didn't like the road and power lines, but I think they help add a little context. If they weren't there, then this scene would look timeless and like it came from yesterday or a billion years ago. The human element, although a bit distracting from the natural beauty, helps to make a better connection with the landscape.
My only complaint about this is the strong yellow cast on the left. It looks like a yellow filter has been applied over the water and clouds - and that's okay to warm up the colors, but I think it's a bit too strong and the transition out of the filter is too abrupt.
I very much appreciate all your comments and support, this is one of my favorite places.
TJ, thanks for your critique, you are becoming as good at critiquing as you are at photography, and that's excellent. This is an HDR and I agree I'd tone down the yellow to print it.
Canon 5DmkII, 16-35mm at 16mm, iso100, 1, 4 & 15 sec at f/13.0, Titan is the largest moon of Saturn, the only moon known to have a dense atmosphere and the only object other than Earth for which clear evidence of stable bodies of surface liquid has been found. Titan is the sixth ellipsoidal moon from Saturn. Frequently described as a planet-like moon, Titan has a diameter roughly 50% larger than Earth's moon and is 80% more massive. It is the 2nd largest moon in the Solar System, after Jupiter's moon Ganymede, and it is larger by volume than the smallest planet, Mercury, although only half as massive. Titan was the first known moon of Saturn, discovered in 1655 by the Dutch astronomer Christiaan Huygens. Titan is primarily composed of water ice and rocky material. Much as with Venus until the Space Age, the dense, opaque atmosphere prevented understanding of Titan's surface until new information accumulated with the arrival of the Cassini-Huygens mission in 2004, in...
Canon 5DmkII, 16-35mm at 16mm, iso100, 1/6 sec at f/9.5, +CPL I feel like I'm in a creative rut maybe it's the rain, pretty much straight for 3 weeks. I want to think that's the reason but it's probably not. It is to easy to go back to the same place with the same equipment and shoot the same shot with a different sky. I don't want a break I want an idea. So I'll go searching... I know this is a universal phenomena, any comments would be appreciated.
