Very nice Big Pix, love the softness in the background.

softness in the background and the colour was produced by the early morning mist lifting off the water........

Looks absolutely beautiful, wish I was there

Beautiful shot big pix - hope you don’t mind me mentioning my pet hate and that is waterlines that are not straight - other than that this is a stunning shot

check the masts on the boats and yes they do lean a little back but all masts lean. The water line is the land not being a straight line but one moving away from the camera so therefore it could not be straight or the boat in the foreground would not be straight

enjoy

Lovely image, very calm and relaxing, great color...

Bixpix - great capture. My guess is this is Lake Macquarie somewhere. Did you bump up the saturation a little (on my monitor this has a distinctive purple hue to it) or was it just the colours of the dawn doing this? Rgeardless I really like the shot

does your monitor need profilling.........yes and yes, would be a straight answer, but as a large poster print the purple is a very soft hue and adds to the overall image and softness


opps

C'mon guys...waterline is fine. If it bothers you that much then place a magazine under one corner of your monitors.

would that be thick or thin..........

1.64°

Nope - use a spyder on it regularly.

Just thought I'd ask since I was curious. Sorry if you took offence.

No offense but had to ask, as I had not been happy with the quality of my prints I had been getting till I my monitors were profiled and found out that I had been printing using the wrong print drivers. I had forgot to set them up, they were installed, as this is a one off action when I upgraded my computers. Just plainly forgot to set to Espon USB Drivers, my prints now are a great improvement using generic Espon paper profiles but I guess this also leaves some room for futher improvement and more toys

perfectly composed

beauty!

Love the shot Big Pix, well done.

I like the way the water ripples distort the reflection but the water in the background appears nice and smooth.

Have you printed this image?

W00DY

Yes ....... many times........30 x 20 inch posters look great now I have sorted out my printer drivers and profiles..........

One of the little things that we have tendency to overlook with BIG results. When I first calibrated everything I couldn't belive the difference it made. Of course I then had to calibrate my printer since I'd been adjusting it to match my uncalibrated monitor

Lovely image - real quality in the composition and colours.

I don't think there is any issue with the waterline - the front of the boat in the foreground appears "square" ie the vertical spar is just that - vertical.
