probably a good idea to stay on the beach, the sea looked pretty angry that day

Nice photo... It needs a bit more contrast and has so many possibilities.. Here is what I saw in it [Please let me know if you want me to take it down]

No problem surenj, always good to see other points of view.... very nice post processing but I feel it takes away from the original mood, which is pretty dark... I will have another go at it later. in the mean time feel free to reprocess

What would David Hill do? Probably would have used more light to create more darkness. :mrgreen:

I have to say that although the original image has a lot of potential I have to apologize Surenj as neither of your reworks do anything for me....

The original image had a moody, brooding feel to me, with the two figures on the beach contrasting the size and power that the angry sea. The first rework tries to change this feel to convey a warm sunny day...which does not fit with the brooding sea...

The second rework is just not to my taste!

Cameron, Don't apologise!! Post your intepretation or suggestions for everyone to learn....

Try a contrasty B&W conversion with a soft vignette (I am not 100% about the vignette though) and if you can maybe have a go at trying to see if there is any more cloud detail to recover...but I suspect there may not be much....

I like the original - conveys the power of the sea.

Cameron, nice suggestion. It looks really good like that.

Have you done one??? If you have then please post it up! I dont like actually playing with other ppls photos (a personal thing) but I would like to see if it is close to what i had in mind.

Yes I did Cameron, but I threw it away! I don't mind tinkling with other people's photos if I think it's helping someone to improve [which includes myself]. But there has to be line drawn somewhere. The original poster has posted one image...two posts...while I am posting two images...three posts.... :mrgreen:

Hmm...maybe not a good idea.

Just did the same...I went as far as to add a bit of film grain and stopped before adding vignette....I think it wont need it...but have a play with it and see what you think for yourself Francis....it is your picture at the end of the day
