In Between A Rockpool In A Hard Place, a photo from New South Wales, East

Photographer's Note

ENGLISH: Manly again. The dancing statues again, but this time taken earlier in the afternoon. The headland to the right is part of Shelley Beach and we are facing south-west.

ITALIANO: Manly ancora una volta. Le statue di ballo ancora una volta, pero questa volta presa nel primo pomeriggio. Il promontorio a destra è parte di Shelley Beach e ci troviamo di fronte a sud-ovest.

Hello Lisa,
An interesting composition making good use of the angle formed by the walls of the quay to frame the sculpture and provide a good sense of depth. Some nice reflections and an interesting palette of cool tones. Very good sharpness.

Hi Lisa,
Was immediately attracted to the thumbnail - then opended it up to view a very artistic POV.
I thoroughly enjoy the colours and sharpness of the shot.
A very soothing and serene capture of the rockpool.
Cheers,
Graham.

Hi Lisa,
Another great shot, you did well out of this expedition to Manly.
It's about the convex horizon :)))))
Beautiful colours, so soft.
Regards
Peter

Ciao Lisa.
Sembra la copertina di un LP dei Pink Floyd. Ricordi? Bravissima

Hi LIsa,
Another good variation on these statues, here I like the V opening, these two perpective widen my view a lot.
Have a nice day JY

Hi Lisa,
Strong diagonal lines make this interesting. Especially from this close angle. There's also some twist as the right edge is higher. Colour balance is purplish, but it looks good anyway.

Dear Lisa,

Another nice one from those statues but now the foreground plays an important role in the composition with strong lines. Again 30sec (still 102 to go :P) which makes the water smooth and silky, i like such effects a lot...but you knew that already ;-)
Some barrel distortion on the horizon...most lenses suffer from this small problem. I see you are using CS3...so it's easy to correct.
Got to Filter>Distort>Lens correction and move the top slider till it's straight...Good luck.

Regards,

Henk

Ciao Lisa,
immagine alquanto curiosa e di indiscutibile impatto visivo.
Sembra quasi di vedere una piscina.

Ottimo lavoro!

hi lisa
I definitely like your POV in this shot ... it provides such good perspective. The low light hasn't prevented you from getting rich colours and great sharpness.

pink hour - what a great theme.. An introduction to a whole new section of TE, photos I would probably never have come across otherwise. This is a lovely contribution to that - the POV positively inviting me to dive in. In England it would probably be cold, I guess not here though. Lovely, lovely, TFS.
