Thank you for your comments. Your revision comes up on my monitor as bright blue. I am about to calibrate as I have a brand new monitor which may be set too blue, hence an over-emphasis on yellow when my images are displayed on yours. It was early evening in October and sun was fairly low through low cloud so there was a pronounced yellow-orange cast to everything. All comments greatly appreciated.
An excellent capture of the seas in these conditions, Martin! Great moment to capture with the waves breaking, and to know it's a life boat station adds to the drama. I like the colouring and lighting, personally I wouldn't change it, but I might crop to just above the horizon, to have a little less of the sky. Very nicely composed, otherwise! Dave.
CC photo. So I'd critique it by saying that I played around with different crops, but realized that you have what should be there, right there. It's not just the wave breaking, or part of the old station, but that it is in that environment, that setting, and the wave coming from the sea is as much about the sea beyond. The only change I made was to remove some color cast, and make it a bit bluer. It's a good camera, that captured detail even in the shadows of the distant hills.
