Golfo de Papagayo
« on: July 20, 2019, 10:34:13 pm »

The moment I saw this scene I knew how I wanted to develop it.  Love to hear
your views on this style of development and what you think of this particular image.

Well, did it "speak" to you?

There's one on Lanzarote, too, and but it remained mute.

I think that I built a little stone pyramid on it whilst waiting for the girl to put on something different. (Nope, it's not faster because it's less.)

Was there seaweed floating in the water ?
Otherwise, very “painterly”.

Rob C, I once spent a month in Taipei and I spent most of day time in the National Palace Museum.  Incredible place.  Chaing Kai-shek knew what he was doing when he left China with the nation's art treasures.  Getting to my point, the jade work in the museum is jaw dropping.  If I remember correctly artistis allowed each individual jade piece to determine its final form.  This scene spoke to me in the same way.

degrub, no what you are see is not seaweed.  I left these blemishes becuase it gave the final image a bit of a 3D effect.

Monet’s Haystacks come to mind.

In Britain we had Giant Haystacks.

A very soft dreamy palette.

Slobodan and Rob C thanks for your comments.

John R, I am easily seduced by the soft, dreamy, look.

The painterly look works really well. The lack of subject doesn't (for me personally, imo, ymmv, etc...).

I'd love to see for example a sailboat somewhere in there. That would really make this fly. The processing is btw a good method for obscuring the disgraceful placement of those ugly windturbines.
