1. In what area is critique to be sought?
I would like feedback on the composition, colour and post-processing on the images posted. Would like feedback on how the viewer feels about the coloured and B&W versions.
2. What one hopes to achieve with the piece of work?
I was intending to create a part surreal and part hyper-real image using slow shutter for the exposure and tonal contrast for post processing on the rocks.
3. Under what circumstance is the pictures taken?
It was 6:00 pm in the evening at Bang Saen Beach, the sun is setting behind the cloudy sky. The clouds were dark and moving with the wind, prompting eminent rain. It was high tide and the waters have partially submerged the rocks, creating tiny "islands" which extends out into the sea. I selected an angle where the rocks forms a triangular formation pointing out towards the sea. Using a ND filter in addition to a C-PL, I created a 30 second exposure on ISO 200 and aperture of f/8.
4. What the critique seeker personally thinks of the picture
Personally, I like the cloud's motion under the aid of the winds and also the surreal look of the misty waters. The colours are post-processed to my liking, a little more vivid than what I usually would.
Thank you for taking time to read and comment on the images.
