Morro Bay Revisited

I went back to reedit this photo since my blending wasn't so clean the first time I posted it. Well, here's a re-edit and I definitely know it's a cleaner blend than before. C&C appreciated. Thanks!

Edit: I like this version better since there was a storm coming in.

nice edit! great pictures of my favorite city in the world!

Technically a fine photograph, a beautiful compostion, and you're right, the re-edit is sharper and cleaner, but I think the optimum version of this shot lies somewhere between the original and your re-edit

I submit your re-edit has lost too much of the detail in the wooden deck and the rock is too dark to my eyes......I guess I'd like to see a middle version, with the main elements of the shot per the original version with the water of the re-edit effort.

respectfully,

Thanks for the input JZG. I agree. The foreground needs some adjustment. It's an easy fix really. I've been deep in my knees with learning blending, masking. etc. Thanks again for the feedback. I'll repost another edit.

Forgot to ask......was the Morro Bay photo taken with the Zeiss 21mm ZE.

Nope. This was taken with the 16-35 II. If the Zeiss 21 was released before my trip, I would've bought it. The new Zeiss was released later in December.

I'm still learning the ropes of the Zeiss 21 but, it's a stellar performer.

Nice, I think the dock looks a little muddy though..

Thanks! The muddiness I can fix.

Ok. Here's the inbetween. I hope this is satisfactory to all.

Great pic. I love living on the Central coast. There is so much to photograph and so little time.
