Sunrise on the harbor

Nice idea and good execution. Livens up another quite normal sunset shot and gives it impact. I would have put the bird slightly higher made it smaller and moved it to the left. That would invite the eyes to explore the image further rather than having the all the nice bits in one place. At present the eyes take it in in one go.Its not wrong as it is and we all view things differently.

Thanks for the suggestion Billy. I think I see what you mean - gonna give it a shot and see what the Missus says.

OK, Billy. The reduction in size of the bird allows a better fit on the left side. This one may make it to the wall in 12 x 24. A small sample print using the .tif file was clean of the noise/grain visible in this .jpg.

Now it is a work of art my friend. Can you believe their are people here who pay ol' Billy no attention, ignore his posts and point blank refuse to reply to his well considered comments and critique? Now who is the loser one wonders? Billy along with your wife riding shotgun will ensure your output is of the highest standard and indeed will make a sublime 12 x 24 for your home. My regards to the good lady and tell he you are in safe hands even if the drink makes em a little shaky!

All sorts of things make sense, Neil, only to people who post process things that were never there, and they can get quite "picky"
about it all. It's a fine bird however, and he isn't THAT far off to the right to seem he needs adjusting, at least for people who wouldn't
think of putting a bird in a picture where there wasn't one.
Y'see, learning that there wasn't one of something is always disappointing,
so the rest of us never quite trust the person who does such things. If you let nature take its course, a bird might be where he is that
you put him anyway, and that can't be bad because if he has to go somewhere by tradition or rules of thumbs then your picture would look
just like everyone else's. If I agree that you make sense, can you agree that I make sense?

Jenny, not only do you make sense, I have some home-grown examples that I have to patiently inform of what is right and wrong regarding such photographic exercises. Such are the trials and tribulations the creative mind has to endure.

Looking back through photos I found this lovely sunrise taken last February that had nothing in the foreground to focus the eye on. Remembered a shot of a Great Blue Heron three weeks ago with the camera set for a sunrise. Too underexposed for any detail and had almost deleted it. Tried it in the sunrise, and was pleased with the result.

It certainly adds interest to the shot. Well done.

Ah, Billy. You are entirely too modest. Reducing the size of the bird was really a smashing good idea, ol' chap! Take a bow and have a sip on me.
