This was taken at Norah Head on the NSW Central Coast. Taken just after sunset. I have played a bit with levels and saturation to give it a bit of a boost.

It looks surreal. Well done.

Is that a bulk carrier I can see in the distance? It is a bit close to shore. :roll:

Awesome. Fantastic colour and exposure. I like the way you've got the waves looking smoky rather than silky if that makes sense. Superb work.

Well done,

as the others have said, great colours and spot on exposure.

I've been thinking of visiting Norah Head for some photos, is that close to the light house?

Cheers,

André

Great stuff. May I suggest cropping out that rock in the bottom LHS though, from the bottom, as it just sticks out too much and doesn't much to the image.

Thanks for all the comments, much appreciated.

Radar, yes this shot is taken from the rock platform below the lighthouse. I love this spot and it's only 10 mins from my house.

It's interesting that the ship on the horizon is sharp despite the long exposure. Great image!

I was almost going to give you much credit for very sharp eyes until I realised you were [probably] referring to the ship on the left, rather than the 2 roughly in the middle :lol:

You underestimate me. The 2 ships in the middle....The Bahama Queen and the Toya Nippon, are both slightly soft due to movement during the exposure. :D

Obviously, but you would think the captain of the Bahalma Queen wouldn't smoke Stuyvesents under the big No Smoking sign! Nice watch, though. :lol:
