Title: St Ives Bay
Post by: KMRennie on April 15, 2017, 04:31:02 pm: St Ive's Bay, Cornwall, England. Taken 1st Sep 2013 approx 30 min after sunset. Much brightened and turned into a soft and gentle high key landscape. Having made it look anything like a blue hour shot I then removed most of the orange to make it even simpler. Hope you like them. Ken

Post by: KMRennie on April 17, 2017, 12:59:48 pm: Thanks very much for the comments they do the ego a lot of good. This shot was taken about 20 minutes after the one above and about 50 minutes after sunset. Again lightened a lot and desaturated. The pink colour is real. I walked down to the beach to take photographs thinking that I would spend about an hour. Five hours later I had to leave as I was chilled despite it being 1st Sep as I had spent lots of time wading in the Atlantic and was soaked to the waist. Although I like this shot I much prefer the first one especially the lighter version. I don't know how large I can print the first one but will print a 13" * 19" for a competition and see how it does. It will be different in a sea of oversaturated and oversharpened images that are the norm here in UK competitions. Ken

And it is.
But the first one has incredible magic to it!

The third seems slightly over-sharpened (at least in this small, jpeg iteration) and although I like the closer view of the distant island, the colours in the first two seems more compatible and complement the subject and time of day.
