April on the Inlet

Another sunrise with an interesting sky.

What technical feedback would you like if any?

Saturation has been decreased in the red/orange areas. The difference between what is too much and drab seems hairline.

What artistic feedback would you like if any?

Shadow detail ok?

Any pertinent technical details:

iso 50, 24-120 at 30 mm, F8, 25th, D850, handheld, ACR 11, TK luminosity masks and sharpening action at 5%

You may only download this image to demonstrate post-processing techniques.

Beautiful, David. Great sky and reflection and the saturation looks really good. No suggestions here.

David,

I’m with Harley on this - quite a beautiful sunrise sky and reflection as well. Shadow detail is good - and appropriate for the time of day, angle of light, etc. Good job taming the color/saturation too.

There’s an added dynamic with the wake of the duck(?) or whatever is causing the v-line on the left. I’m a little torn as to whether or not it adds or distracts from the bigger picture. I think if it were any smaller or encroached more on the left edge it would be more of a distraction. As presented, I think I like the wake and the pattern being highlighted.
