nice flare, do you mind sharing the setting?

Hi,

Correct me if I m wrong. I think u have done a lot of PS work in this pics. The flare, sea and jetty seemed to have retouched heavily in PS.

Nice PS work. But I don't think they improve your original capture.

you are right, louis. I hv done some PS but not much, just the blurry sea [inspired by your beautiful pic] and add a bit of lens flare effect [quite a good idea from PS, looks very natural]
Well, i think it give the pic a more dreamy and romantic effect.
this is the original.

Personally, I use PS as a sculpting tool, not a sledge hammer.

I think you can create a better dreamy, romantic and surreal picture using long exposure. The sea will surely be blurred and you can probably burn in the soft lights in the horizon. give it a try. Perhaps u'll like it.

thanks for advice. just want to try something unconventional and see if could get some nice artistic effects.
slow shutter speed etc are quite SOP and should not be a problem at all for most photographers .
