In Chains
Posted by DaveB (Exeter, United Kingdom) on 22 February 2008 in Landscape & Rural.
This was taken in Exmouth last weekend, just as the sun was setting over the mountains. I've cropped this one to remove the vast majority of the setting sun, cos with it in I thought it dominated the image, looks much nicer now in my opinion!
As always, comments are welcome, particularly those offering feedback and criticism on my images! (It's the only way I'll learn!) :)

Beautiful colors in this! Really like the line of chains in this.

A perfect crop, wonderful photo, very well done. If you want to hear something critic.. Two things I would try. First try to make the graduation a bit harder, a little bit more contrast. Second try to make the part where the sun is a bit darker, but not too much.

I love the muted colours in this one and the chain gives a nice nautical feel to it...

Great composition, and a good crop as too much sun would have ruined the shot. Great stuff

Interesting image. I kinda like the footprints, its as if someone has recently been freed from the chains and legged it.

personally i think it is a good move in cropping out the sun. now just gives it the feeling that a tinge of light shine through. much better composition that way.
