Experimenting with LE and "big stopper" also stacked circular polariser onto Canon EF 17-40 f4 L. My personal preference was to leave out sea birds, boats etc in the space occupied by the sea and sky. Finally resized for a square format .

It is a well composed shot Joe. I like it. Never used the Big stopper and makes me wonder what is causing the green cast all over the image. My monitor may not be perfectly calibrated but I see green on the rocks, water and in the clouds (left side); I wonder if you see it also. Should be fairly easy to tweak in pp. Also, it may not be a concern to you but I would try to see if it is possible to recover some "highs" in the white area just above the horizon. Other than this very nice. Thanks for posting.

everything has a sickly greenish cast to it.

Color shift due to the filter?

It must have been a very still day. At that shutter speed I would have expected to see more motion blur in the grass. Not sure that I like the blurring in the water around the rocks that much either.

Yes, it looks green to me, too. And I also don't like that blurred, unnatural look of the water.

Hi Joe. I have to agree with the other comments regarding t he green tint which is in all of the image below the horizon and the upper clouds on either side. I don't know if you added this in post or if the filter is the culprit. I adjusted the white balance and removed the tint in the clouds and to me it looks much better. The sky is a bit blown out too just above the horizon which should not have happened with that filter.

but preferable to the original.



I just think this image is too messed up to be recoverable. I really wish the OP would tell us what happened here such that the image is so far off reality. I have a hunch that the really long exposure played some role?

It would be nice if we had the raw file to look at. Dave

Agree with everyone, way too green looking. I tried to play with it some but to get rid of the green (actually the yellow) I had to do a lot of playing around with the saturation, hue and luminance to the point that it looks really subdued in color (not always a bad thing, I guess). I did some dodging and burning and a little tweaking of the clouds in Topaz Detail. I've got some kind of banding in the sky on the right and not sure where that came from but Topaz Denoise wouldn't get rid of it. I agree that it would be nice to take a look at the raw file. The photo is a nice composition but I think it's one where the ND filter hurt more than help. This scene would actually look great with a rough sea.

Not really sure what you're trying to say but if you are asking where the op's version of his photo is in my post I'm sure we all know it's his photo, especially since my post was in response to him with an explanation of what I did. If I have broken some kind of rule then my apologies to the op. If you are saying the changes I made to his photo are fubar then I can't say that I disagree with you. It was only an attempt to get rid of some of the green and try to find some detail in the sky. It was only an attempt at helping.

My apologies to all for delay this is due to time difference between GMT Vs EST. Thanks to all for constructive comments, I think the green cast is in the main due to the ND filter but not helped by my boosting the yellow over much to pick out the flora and inexperience. I will try and upload the original Raw file without processing though the LE effect will of course remain unaltered Thanks for your patience and consideration.

Bledzo, your photo is a very nice composition imo. If it's in a location that you are able to frequent I would love for you to go back and shoot it over without the ND filter, especially on a day with weather much like what it was on the day you shot this. As for the green, maybe your monitor needs to be color calibrated. I know mine does and I have ordered something to use for this. I guess I really like this photo because I live on the coast and it can present many different challenges, especially with the weather. But it's always beautiful. btw, if I was out of line in trying to make some changes to your photo then I apologize. A lot of that goes on in the Retouching Forum where people post photos and invite people to play and it's a fun way to learn. Unfortunately sometimes you do that with photos that people haven't invited others to play with so again I apologize.

Huh?

Do you look over your shoulder a lot?

No.

I was just wondering why the OP had not made any comments on what had been done.



My FUBR comment was directed to the original image.



Why are you people so quick to assume offense?

Hello jerry1, I cannot revisit the location at least not in the near future. I have to be honest with you and say that the green cast was down to me and unlikely to be the Lee filter or monitor calibration which I carry out regularly. I also take some responsibility for not making clear that I was only inviting C&C and not retouching so please do not be to hard on yourself as I was not offended. Finally I have several images of Northumberland and will be more than happy to accept C&C. from the group. The only further comment is I could not resist re editing the original. I have converted it to jpeg and not assigned Srgb profile as previously.

Thanks in advance

Joe

Having been career military I'm well versed in fubar, lol. Your post was made in response to me so I assumed it was directed to me and I really wasn't sure what you were saying. I took no offense, only wanted to explain what I had done. Sorry if you were offended, certainly not my intention. But even if you had been referring to what I did to the photo I would still have to agree that it's fubar for the most part. I didn't really like it either, lol. Sorry for the confusion.

I like this version a lot better. I think it looks a bit flat though and the horizon is high on the left side. Is this a little more to what you were looking for? I am guessing a little regarding the green foreground since your first one was leaning in that direction. Dave
