OT- Playing Around in Big Sur

[klepto]

Some shots I thought I would share. I love Big Sur

Any thoughts, comments, feedback, ramblings?

I like...... I'd may be inclined to cheat a little on the first one and PS out a little of the bright white branches. Overall I love the feeling of movement.

Hey Jake,

I'm not sure how much critique you're after so take this with a grain of salt. They're all pretty but lack any real focal point. The last two are stronger and have appeal as abstracts but they're hurt by softness. They'd be much stronger if the foreground rocks were in focus. Were you hand holding on these?

Thanks guys.
Louis- you mean the branches on the left and right sides?

Doug- I see what you mean. Thanks for the critique. Yeah, these were hand-held.

I was thinking something like this...

Some people frown on doing this stuff but on occasion as far as I am concerned it's no big deal. As long as you are not trying to seel or push something that really isn't accurate. Often times I will move a twig or branch I can reach to improve a shot so if I need to do it in PS sometimes so be it. I don't do it often, but once in a while.
