Sunset shot C&C

themask70 · 22 Aug 2006 at 22:25

Hi all, well, just poped up to Kings Lynn (Norfolk) for five days and took this shot of the sunset. Now one problem i have which someone is welcome to sort out is that the shot doesn't look that sharp but if i try to sharpen it in photoshop it just looks too contrasted. Well anyways, C&C welcome as always

yeah i guess it could be a bit sharper but its still good, reminds me of that movie with reeves (the lawyer) and pacino (the devil) in, forgot its name but it had some scenes in like that, dark sun/cloud shots.

Nice shot. Bit of USM will fix that up no problem!

oh yeah

could always try the high-pass method too, duplicate layer, apply filters/other/high-pass about 0.5 to 1.0 then hard-light or soft light that layer, rinse and repeat.

reminds me of the cover of Apocalypse Now. Stunning shot

I really really like it. You have done great to not allow the sun to look over exposed. You "could" enhance it in photoshop but do you want to. I think its really good mate

Another vote for 'I think it's fine as it is'!
