[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Its been a while since I have taken any new photos so I thought I would dig out some old stuff this week. I used a Grad Tobacco filter on this sunset, maybe not the right chose as the warm tones of the sun got deeper, there is a few other issues that I am not happy with here.

Anyhow, this is Geronisos Island on the far western side of Cyprus. I posted a shot of this island before on TN.

I really like the colors on this one, Steve. I noticed your tobacco filter right away, but the limitd pallete here is wonderful. Great composition with rocks and sky. Great light in the sky and on the water, too. Another winner as far as I'm concerned.

Greece - there was me trying to work out where in Ireland thois one had come from...

I can understand your concerns here, the sun is OE'd and the picture doesn't seem as sharp as it could be, but I like the colours in the foreground and the detail in the rocks.

Hi Stephen,
it's a beautiful seascape ,maybe not you usual high standard,
but it still a lovely shot.
Well composed, good POV and lovely colours,
If I shall be a nitpicker, I find the horizon is not straight;-)
But I like you picture anyway.
Well done, my friend.

Hi Stephen

I think this shot is incredibly nice, the lighting really adds drama to the scene. all parameters are well executed. Fantastic Stephen. :)

Hello Stephen, excllent colors, Bg, POV DOF perfect details very crisp, nicely compose and capture landscape, TFS Kyle

Such a vivid landscape the colours and exposure is spot on to me and the filter has given it a lovely atmosphere. Can't see why you are not happy with it, I would be. You must be a perfectionist or was the sun and sky darker originally.

There are some glorious elements to this photo Stephen. The light coming across the sea up to the rocks is beautiful as are the rocks themselves. The clouds aren't quite as amazing as the earlier post but the rest of the image sure has your signature on it. There may be a slight tilt to the horizon...but wearing trifocals I never know what is straight or curved or otherwise!!

Thanks for sharing

Hi Stpehen,
I am glad you got something out of your archive, which must be a impressive archive to have. The view in this photo is breath taking with the beautiful colored rock formation leading me toward the island and sun. The colro tone of the sky is beatiful as as well as the sea and rock. I think you concern has to do with the exposure of the sun, which I can understand.
TFS,
Niek

Hi Stephen
