[photo] sunset from Isle of Wight ferry

Taken without tripod off a moving ferry going back to mainland
from Isle of Wight. It's actually 2 shots with different
exposures manually blended like a GND filter I guess.

I quite liked the colours. Not sure about the composition. Too
much sky? I liked the cloud patterns too, that's why I put the
horizon like that and used portrait orientation instead of
landscape. I'm not that experienced with landscape/seascape(?)
shooting.

It is a lovely pic. Composition is great, for my own personal taste
I'd crop a bit off the sky. The only way you learn is through
experience.

Thanks Helen. Agree that there's probably too much sky. I did
play with cropping more of it off, but decided to post as is to
get feedback on the original shot.

Troy, I like the shot. I would correct the slight tilt which there
appears to be, though. I wouldn't crop the sky, as I like the small
could-free area just at the top. Lovely clouds.

Cheers,
David

Thanks Dave. Hadn't noticed the slight tilt. I'll fix it
tonight.

Gorgeous, well done. Positively Turneresque.

Aah, Joseph Mallord William Turner - painter. I do see some of
those colours and similarities in some of his paintings.
Interesting.

Very well done. I like the way you have blended the two images
together. Can hardly tell the blending line. Good strong colors and
not out of line for the scene.

The horizen is slightly tilted to the left a bit. That would show up
more if the image was larger than my monitor. But being on a moving
boat in the middle of the water it shold be allowed.

I would have cropped it a bit tighter on the top and bottom. The way
you have it gives the strong feeling of the open seas and the
peacefullness of twilight.

Keep shooting landscapes. It will help with close up items as well.

I agree, cropped to an 8x10 aspect ratio looks good for many portrait
shots anyways.
