Nice moody picture.

Love it! Do you have a frame for it yet?

Jimbo · 09-01-2008, 11:57 AM

Very nice shot. Since I've been making the tour of lighthouses lately I find this rather cool.

Henrik Kristensen · 09-01-2008, 01:18 PM

Thank you all so very much for your kind words.

... no frame for it yet

daacon · 09-01-2008, 04:56 PM

Another great capture - love the framing and colors.

pasipasi · 09-01-2008, 05:20 PM

I think the lower part of the photo looks overdone, but the top part is great

mel · 09-01-2008, 06:11 PM

That is really cool. It almost doesn't look real. Did you do any pp work on it or is that how it came out of the camera? I love the colors.

I don't know what he used, but everything is complimentary- greens, blues and greys- and moody.

when i first saw HDR, i thought it was cool.
now, not so much.

i think it'd be a better shot straight up.

composition is great though.

It looks like a nice HDR but with a nice adjustment on the tones to create the mood

Henrik Kristensen · 09-01-2008, 11:29 PM

Hi again and thanks for the comments.

No this isn't straight out of the box.

I don't know the official definition of HDR, however this is created from one image adjusting highlights, shadows, levels, saturation and contrast. Cropped and sharpened.

For those interested, this is what I had to work with:

I know that different people like different things, I wanted a more artistic look on this one...

Well done, agree that it looks like a painting, nice how the foreground and the sky are in balance!
