Pt Addis sunrise

Critique Style Requested: Standard

The photographer is looking for generalized feedback about the aesthetic and technical qualities of their image.

Description

Sunrise at Pt Addis on the Victorian Surf Coast.

Specific Feedback

All C&C is welcome but I’m particularly interested in what you folk think of the geometry of the shot. Does the geometric shape of the stairs and look out add or take away from the seascape vista?

Technical Details

5Ds + EF 16-35 F4 L @ 16mm. f11, 5s, ISO 100. PP in ACR for lens correction, colour and light, then into PS to straighten the stairs (warp), crop and sharpen.

IMO, the stairs are the subject and the morning seascape vista provides a pleasing setting for them. The contrast of warm and cool tones is appealing, and IMO the exposure/contrast is right where it needs to be.

This photo makes me want to be there!
