On The Beach

Interesting. Doesn't speak to me as much as the other abstract, but definitely interesting.

 

[Pete Askew]

It certainly is interesting and I really like the semi-luminescence of the semi-building. However, I find there to be a touch too much space at the top I think. How about centred and square?

 

[Tom Dunne]

Thanks lads. Hadn't even considered the squarer jobbie to be honest. Attached is one in square format, part of a landscape version that I also took.
Yes Pete, I do think it is indeed an improvement but maybe the subject matter is just not strong enough to make the image any more interesting,; I don't think I got the result to match what I was seeing in my minds eye. maybe next year?

 

[Pete Askew]

How about a curves adjustment?

 

[Tom Dunne]

Definitely Pete and I love how it has added a bit more contrast especially along the line of the tide, an of course the structure itself. It has perked up the whole image.
Thanks Pete.

I think it needs a touch more space above, Tom. Perhaps not as much as the original, but more than the crop has left it with. For me, anyway....

 

[Julian de'Courcy]

Something I'd stop and take a photo of. For myself for some reason it is the believability . It is real, but maybe the strong influence of the green house shape in such an environment is difficult to digest. Having said that it is certainly an interesting image Tom, throwing up lots of conundrums, for that alone, good work.

 

[Tom Dunne]

Thanks Julian. The shape is actually a bit of beach furniture minus it's canvas cover.

Thanks Julian. The shape is that of a beach hut minus it's canvas cover.

I'm with you Brian. Many thanks.
