To me, the image seems a bit soft. the sailboat on the water is a bit distracting. If the sail was up, then it would be better.

Nice shot, but I agree with Raiyo. Also, the vignetting doesnt work for me for some reason.

Wow, that intensely blue..oversaturated for me.Horizon is off, and the vignette is too much for this photo. Just me.

Not ever having been to Cornwall..I guess it is what you see.;)


you're a great friend, but if Zombies chase us, I am tripping you.

Sancho, maybe you were thinking a lot about "effect" rather than letting the camera tell the story of what you were seeing.
All the extra tools like filters and PP effects can help build that picture, but they shouldn't be the whole story. Also they can distract you from the basics like focus, DOF, horizon etc.


Growing old disgracefully!

I'd go a tad down with the vignetting. The blue is also a bit too much for me...

Thanks for comments

It looked a bit washed out un the original, perhaps I did over do it though. I was doing it on my laptop, the screen is horrible, will have a look on my desktop

I mean I've never been to this place, but I've never seen water be that blue in real life before. Was it really? My mind will not accept the color as realistic.

I get the feeling that the super saturation has just stripped the detail from the frame. If this can be toned down, I'm sure there's potentially a good shot to be had.
