[QUOTE="sOnIc, post: 199384, member: 15861"] I really like the first image; very moody, great as it is, but would be an awesome setting for an astronomical subject like a comet, aurora, noctilucent cloud, Moon, Venus, pass of the ISS, or whatever. But why does the image fade to grey at the bottom? That colour seams un-natural and a bit wrong to me? Also amazed to read it's hand-held?! Surely to get a proper sharp image at full res would require a tripod? My thoughts would be to use a tripod; and go up in F-number for more depth; resulting in a slightly longer exposure and thus some motion blur on the surface of the water; but I don't know exactly what the condition were like. The second image as well is beautiful, looks HDR or like there's some clever processing gone on. (At full size I can see some missing data in the top-left corner from where you rotated it ; ) But very nice work : ) [/QUOTE]
