I used Fuji color film, 400 speed. It was late afternoon when I shot this photo on the beach on Martha's Vineyard. The camera was a Pentax K1000 with a zoom lens attached.

I think a tighter crop (getting rid of the lower left shadow and upper right hot spot) would help quite a bit. A little unsharp mask might help too.

Is the original much sharper? Did you use a tripod?

Other than those nits, I think you've got a pretty nice abstract image.

Good pic, thanks for posting.

The colors look unnatural, and the orientation confuses me, the water appears tilted! However artistically I find it interesting. It almost looks like a double exposure.

Spectacular!

I admire your vision!

Have you printed this as a Giclee? On "Concorde Rag" paper this would be awesome.

Cheers,

Hummmm ... curious colors ... but I like it .... The orientation is kind different too ... I think the first view is a little out-of-focus, but it4s ok.

Good shot,

Charles

The water whan I took the picture was really that blue, I didn't use a tripod. Thanks for your comments.

I keep trying to tilt my head to the left to correct the confusing perspective. Also, the shadow on the lower left is annoying. Overall, I can see it being nice with a new crop and some rotation, but right now its making me dizzy. =)
