I like the desolate feeling of this photograph. good work.

Your changes worked well. - Henry

OK, I increased the contrast and darken in little bit. The wood have little bit more details now. This shot is @ 17mm. I wished I can get it wider, or I need to step back further when taking this shot? Thanks.

nice shot, it sure looks desolate and isolated to me, as CJ said, I think it would work even better with a little wider angle, to show more of "just" the sand, sea and sky. - Henry

Or maybe not. The bright exposure supports the photo, I think.

CJ, the horizon looks good to me. Did you join Jano for her lazic surgery (kidding).

The only thing I would do is darken it a bit, to see more details on the lighter parts (clouds and sand).

I'll give it a go if you don't mind, Leung.

Looks like an isolated beach but maybe a wider view would make it seem a little more isolated. The horizon still needs a little tilt to the left - the cropping tool will help straighten it out Leung. If you wanted to try playing around with levels, contrast and USM, it might be interesting to see how that will change the image. CJ

Looks good to me. Maybe darken it a bit, but that's a personal preference type of thing.
ctfchallenge09-Mar-2007 14:26
Thanks. I have straighten the horizo line. Is it better? Anything else that I need to do? - Leung

This is a nice shot, Leung, but I'd straighten the horizon line.

Agree with Rod, the whole scene looks deserted and isolated.

The scene looks very isolated to me, nicely shot Leung:-)

The weather was pretty bad for the whole week, and it was finally clear up for the weekend. If those wood aren't there, that's pretty much how the beach looks like: flat and so calm with the blue sky. Only a few areas on the beach where all these woods were taken from land and washed back up to the shore after the violent storm couple days earlier. Those are the only evidence from the storm.

Leung......... this is quite nice :P
I can almost smell the salt air and feel the cool sea...
As for what is isolated here, I can't be quite certain.
What were you going for?
