March 2025 - Salt Pond Sunset
About the Image(s)
This photo was taken at sunset at a local salt pond after some rainy days. I adjusted saturation, reduced some highlights in the clouds. and removed some pieces of smaller salt rocks around the girl to make the image cleaner. (The girl was not my model. She was taking photos with her friends. I took the opportunity and included her in my photo to add a little bit of interest.)

Spring, I love this image. The sea / landscape is has gorgeous colors and reflections. Some are going to say that they would like more detail in the model and her reflection but I like the silhouette. There are no distracting elements in the frame and the lighting certainly accentuates the mood. Posted: 03/02/2025 18:14:59
Thank you for your kind comment. I also prefer the silhouette because I think this way it does not distract the viewers from the overall landscape yet still provides a focal point for the eyes to rest on. Posted: 03/06/2025 01:38:18
it's a beautiful photo with a great composition. I would try various color schemes and increase the contrast to see if any suprise impacts. Posted: 03/20/2025 22:06:36
Spring, I really like your image. It conveys the feeling of the sunset when everything calm down. The silhouette looks trying to find a balance as a metaphor of life when we see the end of the day. I would not change a thing.
