Comment Two remarks: 1) I think the composition is too centered. 2) Did you use a polarizing filter? The sky's color changes from light to dark blue, and I'm guessing it's caused by a polarizer since the focal length is 17mm (more likely to happen to wide-angle) and the exposure settings are 1/80s at f/8 (about 1-2 stops slower than ordinary daylight). --King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 10:06, 9 February 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks for the comments. Would cropping off the left two boats help? I did consider it but the Isle is centred in the middle of Lamlash bay so an off-centre position might have less EV. I can't remember about the polariser as this was last summer but I'm aware of the problem it can cause and agree this might be the reason. I could see if some Lightroom adjustment can balance the sky better. -- Colin (talk) 10:16, 9 February 2013 (UTC)
- Comment I've cropped the left and adjusted the sky. -- Colin (talk) 11:07, 9 February 2013 (UTC)
- Better, but I still think the sky is an unnatural blue. --King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 21:39, 9 February 2013 (UTC)
- I've desaturated the sky. Thanks for the feedback. However it is clear that this pic isn't wowing anybody.
I withdraw my nomination -- Colin (talk) 20:06, 10 February 2013 (UTC)
