Man Fishing

I just couldn't get a picture I liked today to save my skin.
Out for a drive along the shores of Otay Lake, and I took
many shots. Underexposed. Overexposed. Grrrr! And I was
using the histogram and adjusting the EC like a mad man.

So, this is the best of the lot. Guy in the boat looked peaceful!

The blue tone works well with the mood presented. As for over/underexposed, shoot RAW and 'cheat' in conversion, it works well for tricky exposures.

Gary this is excellent. I love the hue you chose. I love the composition, and I like the amount of detail you have here. If I only have one thing to pick about, it would be the lack of contrast you have between the tree and the background landscape. But thats just being picky, otherwise, AWESOME!

Very nice.. i love the monochrome color you've used.. very similar to Ray's today.

You did really good, for a madman.
Since you figured it out, would you enlighten the rest of us?
Gayle P. Clement04-Sep-2004 20:44
Really nice, Gary. The composition makes it.

In my opinion is a very nice image, I guess you were dealing with the light conditions, wich maybe wasn`t the best, but watching the final result I think is a very nice image.

That`s why we apreciate bautiful images, because they are the result of lot of hours of patiente composing, shooting, waiting for the conditions to change etc. In one phrase very nice images are like us: ¡¡The best among millions of spermatozoids!! :-)
