      • Thsnk you Tobie and Rob. Exactly the kind of critique I was hoping for and need.  Now that you’ve pointed it out I agree that foreground interest is missing. Something for me to keep in mind. Overprocessed? Hmmm? Very recently, I realised I was falling into that trap so you are almost certainly right. I think I may have added saturation -unnecessary after using a polariser.  I’ll have the original in a file sonewhere. Will dig it out.

          An oldie – two cameras ago. When I saw the amount of blue in front of me as we walked through Honfleur I just had to give it a go. Couldn’t avoid the edge of the jetty on the right.  Exif data is: Sony A300 with DT 18-70mm set at 20mm. 1/100 @ f14. ISO 100.
          Not absolutely sure but I believe I had a polariser fitted at the time. I did not need to add much saturation in processing. Cropped a little from the right and the bottom to remove some minor distractions.

            I agree with the first two comments. Definitely cut out the brightness above the bridge. Brighten the scene and adding contrast might help, perhaps giving it a warmer tone, too, but you’d have to experiment with that. If you can’t remove the bright flower then perhaps recolouring might help.

              I like this. For me, cropping out the top of the tree and a little from either side, keeping the man framed and on the Third might be an improvement.
