Approaching storm

Well there comes a time when one has to post their first photo into the critique area. (it won't be the last - I think I have tough skin )

Every photo I've looked at posting I can see reasons why I should not, oh well, this is what the forum is about, learning and improving.

Thanks for taking the time to look at this photo and for your comments.

Nicely done. I think though, the image would have benefitted from the use of a CPOL to reduce the reflection on the water and increase saturation.

Nice shot Greg. About all I'll add is a bit of dodging to show more detail on the dark bits of the boats might have helped.

Thanks for the feedback Tirediron. I'm not sure of the term CPOL. From your description of what it does I'm guessing that it might be a polarising filter of some sort

Mad Aussie. I'm not really good at post processing yet, but I'll give your suggestion a go and post the results later in the week. Thanks for the feedback.

Yes - Circular Polarising filter - or as I like to call it, the Twisty Turny Reflectorisation Minimisation Doobrey Gadget Type Thing...

I like this shot - what a great sky and ominous mood!

Did you try any other variations on the composition? It might have been nice to fous on just one boat. Still, I really like this one.
