pictures from Alaska

here are some photo's I took in Alaska in July.
I wanted to catch the whale jumping out of the water or ice falling in to the water, but I had to settle for these.
Tell me what you think, I have several more that are completely different.

Interesting study in shapes and textures here. Love the use of selective color. Keep up the good work. :)

tack sharp details, very nice work, the bottom image is a stunning subject composition, very well seen and presented... correct me if I am wrong, but I don't see any of these as SC?

perfect. dont change a thing. i love the nautical theme.quite frankley the whale jumping out of the water or the ice falling into the ocean is about as cliche as bee on flower. these photos are more interesting the texture and details of a rope, the shapes of the boat, the red skiff against a grey background. much better composition. I award you a larry the hedgehog for excellance in nauticl theme.

yeah, I played with the colors some, but Alaska is kind of glummy

I mean gloomy, so the colors are close. Just play with a little in lightroom.

Love, love, love, the knot! Great pictures. They make me want to put Alaska on the bucket list.

I like. They are different.
If you could up the saturation of the red boat in #3, it would be a knockout.

I would consider going completely black and white with the background and having color only on the skiff. I think the effect would be stunning. Easy to do with layers and an eraser. I think the composition is very good.

okay, I'll try that, but I did desaturated the boat from the original to give it a more "urban" or "edgey" look.
I wish out of the over 500 hits i had on the pictures more people would have given there comments.
I thank you very, very much for yours.
After I edited it again I'll send it back out to see what you think, but, I do not like the "picasa" B&W look with the overly bold shot of colors. It looks fake and over done. I have yet to see one like that, that look good.

I agree with you that the color should not be overly bold. I think the desaturated version of your skiff would work better than the original. The more subtle addition of color would be more effective. I love the angled lines that the dock and boat provide. Can't wait to see what you come up with!
