I will probably play some with it this weekend as it looks like there will be rain.

I've done a similar edit to a different sunset and while it does seem to be getting into the over cooked category sometimes that works. It seems the general popolus likes things like sunsets on the over done side just like the overdone HDR. It had crossed my mind to do it that way.

Sounds like the consensus is that I should probably defish it and from there it is lots of suggestions to try.

They should be pretty easy to edit out although I usually don't do that unless I find something really offensive (the bright orange buoy in my foggy island picture) in a picture. With how I am I really try to keep post processing to a minimal as I can see myself really overcooking things and not realizing it. I may give that a try though.

another idea worth exploring, although what is in the foreground isn't the nicest as a lot of it is dead cat tails, remnants of a floating grass mat, and a dead shore shrub. So there are some tan colors that might add to the picture so maybe a slight boost there. I may want to mask the shoreline and shoreline reflections off from the sky and water and make the adjustments separately.

With bouncy and moving targets (cub scouts, birds, chipmunks, etc.) I will blast away as well I just need to be willing to shoot more with the slow photography too but still take my time but just try more things as it only costs a little of my time.

No problem some times the mind papers over things and the need to be pointed out so you see them.


True, but I already do fairly slow photography thinking about things most of the time and won't take the time for another 1 or 2 framings. I need to get out of the mindset of shooting film and and experiment a bit more but still be deliberate. The only times I don't do slow deliberate photography is when photographing scout events because they bounce off the walls and when when trying to take pictures of birds at the lake, again because they just don't stop moving.

I didn't find it distracting until it got pointed out. Now I can't seem to unsee it.

This was mentioned before. I probably should have tried that shot as well but I only did 2 framings, one with almost nothing on the right which just looked empty and then this one. When using a digital camera I should probably be less sparing with taking shots framed differently but old film habits die hard.

Hadn't thought of that. I did shoot it way to the left with barely any of the trees on the right and that just seemed really boring. I think with that one it didn't work because the 17mm fisheye has such a wide FoV that it just felt too empty.

Looking for general comments on composition and exposure. I like the dark silhouettes at sunset but wondering what others think. This has a little curves adjustment but not much. The sun had dipped below the horizon about 10 minutes before this.
