Great image H, the water and the colours are just beautiful. You've hit the exact exposure time for making the water look 'in motion' rather than blurry, very impressive.
I think maybe the belt of Venus is a tad too light? It looks more like a patch of blue sky under a pink cloud. But everything else is perfect, I like it very much.

[multiweb (Marc)]

Beautiful as always. I like the turquoise wave about to break just below the horizon line. Good timing.

[suma126 (Shane)]

it looks excellent but maybe a little soft looking on the bottom rock

Very nice H.

I like the pastel colours you have captured.

Cheers

Lovely wave detail Humayun, but perhaps as Rolf said, the sky has come out a bit light? Still a great image though!

Cheers,
Stephen

Rolf,

I think this was shot towards the final stages of the Belt of Venus disappearing. It's so hard to capture as it only lasts at maximum intensity for a few moments. I wonder if there's a formula for estimating its MaxQ, as it were? Thank you, sir. : )

Marc,

Once again, you see the things that I try to portray! We have similar eyes, perhaps? Thanks, mate. : )

Shane,

The softness is due to my polariser getting wet and me quickly scrubbing it with the sleeve of my jumper! I thought it kind of worked and helped give it that mystical feel. : )

Stephen,

Thanks, mate. I might have to go back and perhaps introduce a little more contrast into the sky. Might help pop it a bit more.

Great image,like the '3rd's' proportioning,very effective.And the 'water-the-filter-wiped-with-sleave' to give mystical effect-so cool!,we are so lucky on ISS to read these tips!,well done.

Have you started getting some of these images printed up for sale?

I recently purchased the EF-S equivalent of the 17-40/16-35 L,for this type
of photography-I really appreciate how you give the settings you had when you took these images Humayan.

Cheers Chris

Chris,

My site is taking longer to finish than I had anticipated. Seems like something else always pops up (I've got two shoots this coming week, as well). All in good time.

Tony,

Cheers.
