This was made on the NE coast of Qatar during a camping/kayaking trip at sunset. It’s one of a recent set of square format abstracts I worked up for a display at home. I like the bare simplicity of the scene.

Specific Feedback Requested

Any and all feedback is appreciated.

Technical Details

Is this a composite: No
Nikon D200, Sigma 24-70mm f2.8 lens at 48 mm, ISO 100, 1.6 sec at f32
LRC tonal and color adjustments. Added a little bit of negative clarity to smooth out the water a little more and calm down the algal patches.

Bill, the mostly blue transition to orange/red works very well here, as does your focus on that first bit of vegetation. I do wonder how moving your crop a bit to the right, to complete the reflection’s curve in the upper right, would look?

A lovely image, Bill. I really like the blurred reflections in the blue area and the vegetation adds just that hint of variation needed.
