New Jersey marsh land

Appreciate C&C. I knew by the day sky that the sunset was going to be oustanding.

The color of the green marsh is taking away too much from the color of the sky IMO.

^ That, and the photo is cut in half, so my eye goes to the black silhouette to the left side.

I happen to think the green adds to the photo, however the black pole looking thing draws my attention, might try to get that out.

The grass looks like it's out of focus. Or is it movement blur at 1/3 sec?

I saw that as well, a little hard on the eyes to focus.

It was windy and I was shoting through a 6 stop ND and a CPL. I see what you mean about the pole (channel marker) drawing your eye.

Why?

Why not ?

Because you put two extra pieces of glass in front of your lens and it gave you movement blur in the grass.

I was trying to avoid blown highlights from the sunset. I for one do not find a problem with the grass.... each to his own taste. This would have been tough to shot without a filter given the bright sky. I was also hoping to smooth out the water surface with the ND.
