Dory slip

I was going to crop a little off the right side to balance the image , but I decided to leave it considering what cropping does to IQ.

SS .8 sec, Aper 13, ISO 100, FL 14mm

Hope you like it
C&C welcomed

I like that shot. Maybe it's the color, but I suddenly felt very lonely looking at it. Got over it, though. Great shot.

Very nice Frank! Did you use a GND here? Love the colors in the sky and I like how you have just enough exposure in the foreground. Well done!

Nice and eerie! Well done Frank!

Oh..... the memories ! Wish I had a dollar for every time I trod down one of those ..... sigh ....

I don't think it needs a crop.

I'd like to have seen a touch more blur on the water. And pp is quite obvious, did you blend exposures? Otherwise this is a great shot, exposure and compition are spot on.

How does cropping affect IQ?

Great shot, I wouldn't touch it...very nice as is...steve

Really nice shot.

I like the shot as well. I am however curious as to what cropping does to IQ. Please explain.

I like!

Thanks Corporal.
Well there's still plenty here on the island to trod down if you like.

Thanks curiousgeorge for commenting.

I wanted more blur in the water as well, but slowing down the ss would result in clipping of the highlights. My goal was to try and capture the light as it appeared

Only PP done here was a little saturation and sharpening.
No blending involved, just a single exposure.

After cropping, you basically end up enlarging that portion of the image which results in lower resolution. Not so good if you want to print.

Hay Otto, thanks for the comment buddy.

Nice shot... must have been taken some months ago as I'm sure that's a very icy place right now... Thanks for sharing. I wouldn't change a thing.

Thanks Michael.
Yes, the picture was taken awhile ago, this past summer. But a viewer decided to bring it back to the front page.
