Kangaroo Island - by the water

I'm doing a bit of my post processing backlog (again!).

These are from my trip to Kangaroo Island (off the SA coast) in March. It's an amazing place, I'd highly recommend it to any landscape/wilderness photographers out there.

G'day,

Here's my feeble attempt...

#1, I'd be tempted to crop off some of the top to move your horizon higher in the frame, there seems more interesting detail in the water and the foreshore...

#2, I like this, the lines of sea-weed along the sand seems to take me along the beach to the distant shoreline...

#3, This is interesting, it seems to keep my wandering eye in the grass, great color in the sky, so vivid and bold...

#4, oooh, this I like... I'd be tempted to maybe highlight that central brighter rock and maybe use a vignette to lessen the attention on the others maybe? Horizon seems a smidge wonky, or it might just be me :)

All these seem really sharp too!

Looks like a great place to wander around...

Damn! so someone moved the sea on me? :lol:

I've had a look at the original for this, and tried to straighten it out a bit more - but it looks like it's more wonky from a bit of barrel distortion from the 18-70DX at 18mm. I'll have a crack at a bit of perspective correction and see what I can do :)


Oneputt - stay tuned, I'm working on some more.

Very nice.

The second and third ones are my pick. Love the colours and saturation.

Dan - #3 for me: colour and saturation great :)

I have not been on the Island for many years, but a very picturesque place. Also has crystal clear waters and great seafood ie whitting, flathead, crayfish to name a few :D

The last one does it for me.

Except for the wonky horizon. Easily fixed. :)

Thanks for the comments, helps me know if I'm on the right PP track ;)

Fozzie, you should try to get back there. Looks like it'd be magic in the spring. I can also vouch for the King George Whiting, they were delicious.
