About I don't even know if I should post this, it lightened up a whole lot on here...seems to have lost definition in the cloud.....today we had a lot of different weather patterns, rain with winds and white caps, then a clearing and no wind..(lots of no-see-ums..biting) and calm waters with some nice reflections...I like this one and hope you do too....:):)

The lighting is what really makes this image great! I love the warm tones on the right side of the image and the reflection in the water is great. I really like this one and I'm glad you decided to post this! :)

david henderson   {K:10786} 8/21/2005
Hi Linda, showed this image to Anna who is an artist and saying, I think I would crop a bit (a third) off top and some of the dark bit at the bottom.......'what's wrong with the dark bit at the bottom' ? was the response.....on second thoughts I agree but when I scrolled down to turn a portrait into a landscape I think it got better....it's a lovely shot, a landscape with atmosphere, I wonder what is on that Island way over, the reflection of the cloud mass makes a lovely pathway all the way over there, the little headland in the foreground gives nice perspective, cheers mate, david.


Larry Fosse   {K:65767} 8/21/2005
WOW!


Gregory McLemore   {K:25057} 8/21/2005
Wow, a very dramatic beauty, stunning in every respect.


Hanggan Situmorang   {K:37779} 8/21/2005
What a wonderful view and composition, Linda. Love the magical lighting on the island in the foreground. The reflection of the clouds is really dramatize the scene, too. Good capture, congratulations my dear friend.
Hugs,
Hanggan


Linda Bique   {K:73877} 8/21/2005

Mark Hamilton   {K:8384} 8/21/2005
Hi Linda

The warm light reflected on the beach, water and cloud is stunning.

The way you have used the beach on the right of the frame to lead the eye into the scene is a nice compositional touch. The overall darkness of the image also heightens the atmosphere of this photograph. It makes you want to go there like all good landscapes should.

I hope this was not the only picture that you made here.

Well done I hope you basked in this glory

Mark


Dave Stacey   {K:114933} 8/21/2005
This is gorgeous, Linda! The lighting on the clouds is great and the way it hits the shore is beautiful! Very well done shot!
Dave.


Ameed El-Ghoul   {K:42188} 8/21/2005
It is really a nice capture Linda,
But I realized something, I don't think you are using any digital processing software, something like Paint Shop or Photo shop,
Check the attachment, what i've done here is enhancing the clarity by Paint Ship 9 Professional,
It is an option called: One step auto fix,
It adjust the lighting and many other things,
My use is usually more complicated that that, but this is what i've done in here,
These are one the problem with my shots to, they intend to be dark, and i need to photo process them before the upload, check the attachment and let me know what do you think,
Regards,



greg collins   {K:11937} 8/21/2005
The light in the shoreline really brightens up this photo. Love the clouds and it's reflection.
Greg


Ned Ali   {K:11844} 8/21/2005

I like how the light is painting the land .. and that cloud makes this image even more intersting!
well done, Linda.

Linda Bique   {K:73877} 8/21/2005
I think you're wonderful to think of that...thank you...but I wanted it dark my dear, to emphasize the light in the clouds and on the beach...kind of setting the mood..but you are so thoughtful to do that, thank you my friend...I use CS2...a hug to you...:):)Linda


Linda Bique   {K:73877} 8/21/2005
Thank you Mark, so glad to see that you liked this one...I took some others but haven't looked at them all yet...actually I couldn't stay out long the no-see-ums were eating me alive...glad you liked this one..I was afraid it lightened up too much on the upload, but I guess not...:):)Linda


Alison DuFlon   {K:35781} 8/21/2005

Stefan Ulrich Fischer   {K:1148} 7/13/2006
A really brilliant shot. The colours are giving the image a great atmosphere, especially the golden sunlight on the right. I wonder what is on the island? The big cloud is really stunning. Really nice reflections.
