For this is all A Dream........
Posted by DaveB (Exeter, United Kingdom) on 17 February 2009 in Landscape & Rural.
We dreamed one afternoon long ago (Box of Rain, the Grateful Dead)
Taken with a circular polariser and a ND filter at Talland Bay on Saturday.
Edit: I really like this image, but the Jpeg compression on both this site and Imageschack has made the reds in the foreground really dull and murky. It looks alot better before upload, and they're doesn't seem to be much to do about it. It's probably a conspiracy to make me upgrade to A+! :)
As always, comments are welcome, particularly those offering feedback and criticism on my images! (It's the only way I'll learn!) :)

Peter Miller from Lichfield, United Kingdom
Very possible on the conspiracy theory, nevertheless a cracking image and without seeing the original I cannot compare, is there any post processing to this Dave

@Peter Miller: Thanks Peter, everyone's against me! :) I think I used a couple of masked curve layers, and a bit of minor dodging and burning in the foreground for this one
Pradeep from Chennai, India

Don from spokane, United States
Since we don't see the red, we don't miss it! :-)The rugged shore looks very good to me. The water treatment is fine - i like the action that water presents. Well done.

@Don: Thanks Don, too be fair this looks alot better on my work screen than on my laptop. But not as good as the PSD file!
Steve Rice from Olympia, United States
Dull reds or not, I like this a lot. The long exposure, the rugged rocks and that white house shining like a beacon make for one great composition. So, save your money on A+ and buy more camera gear. :-)

@Steve Rice: Thanks Steve, thats the plan! :)
