Thank you very very much, I appreciate that! I purposely chose to black out the rocks to give priority to the water and the sky, but left no detail to them other than being back lit. Any thoughts on what I could have done better?
Just to let you know, as far as my editing is concerned...
I really dont do much to my pics. I always run them thru the noise filter (darn sony f-828) and I make minor lighting tweaks if I have too to get the color to come out on the printer the exact way the shot looks in camera, in short, what you see it almost totally natural here. The only thing I changed from the orgininal shot is that I cropped about 5% of the image at the borders, thats it.
Im glad you like it.
