Agree with @gsfife, the two wooden objects will then lead the eye to the lighthouse, there is nothing interesting on the right hand side

Well I like to take credit but thanks goes to @cameraclicker for letting me know.

Take it off high speed sync, I just learned today that it gives multiple strobes and you get motion blur

[Ken]

I suggest you use a ND filter if your camera can’t handle the background, this will allow you to open the f-stop a bit more blurring the the background. left leg up a bit exposing the other shoe more. Yes get the whole dress in

KEN_4553.JPG by Ken on Light Stalking Thanks @cameraclicker, high speed synch seemed to be the culprit for movement, added gels, shot at 1/200, speedlights set at 1/64. I did not tidy the water as I am trying to perfect the ability first. I even added gelatine to water to try and slow it down??? Ah well I will keep trying

[Ken]

Can’t decide what the topic is

[Ken]

Sure you are the only one

Try cropping the right window out, the natural lighting will come to its due especially with the chair. 🙂 I want that chair

KEN_4399.JPG by Ken on Light Stalking I tried my 5DMiii, 100mm L IS, F16, ISO 1000, 1/2500, still no luck

[Ken]

Feast your eyes. Truly fantastic!!

[Ken]

Like a fairy tale, nice composition

[Ken]

Stalking on the net (company time) Weekends are more for practical (camera in hand) LOL

[Ken]

Watch out in overdoing the HDR processing causing the halos. Would like to see the lines the boats make going to 1/3 left side and leading to the water edge

[Ken]

Dark background and dark hair, some backlight would enhance the overall pic

[Ken]

I will stark working on the recommendations shortly, Thought that I will share the unedited and uncropped imagec first. Unfortunately I did not shoot this in RAW.

Not sure what you wanted to achieve, this is a great silhouette. Maybe try crop the left just to left of the uprights

[Ken]

Joanna is right, if you crop … crop halfway between the joints

[Ken]

Maybe I want the impossible and should just trash it. detail and mist just do not go together

[Ken]

Not sure what lens you were using, but to get the desired effect a wide angle helps a bit. Using a ND filter will also allow for a longer exposure and in the process get some movement in the clouds
