The Burton Buoy, a photo from Dorset, England

Photographer's Note

Like most of my othr shots this also was taken along the Jurassic Coastline in the UK

this was quite a tricky shot as i was standing in the water getting soaked and tring to keep the tripod steady for a long exposure
but pleased with the end result :)

hope you all like the shot
thanks for looking

and thanks for comments on my other uploads ;)

Hi Phill
Another magnificent photo. The waves which withdraw give a beautiful effect. Ropes give a beautiful composition in feet of these cliffs. They are too red to my taste but it has to come from the filter.
Congratulations.

Hello Phill,
Bold saturation, almost over the top, but it works in this 'empty' (graphical) composition. Same goes for the heavy frame. Somehow it all adds up for me.

Hope you kept your feet dry.

it seems you are enjoying your wide angle lens and nd grads, the photos in your portfolio looks great, i only notice the sharpness not at its best, in my humble opinion or it's just me.

Hi Phill,

Another excellent picture of the coast. It's amazing you manage it to make so many great pictures of the same subject in quiet similar circumstances. I particulary like this one for the composition and the beatiful colors with on top of it this flashy buoy. Your effort was reward with this great result.

TFS,
Didier

Love it Phil!
Well worth the effort.

I've examined those cliffs for a geology field trip years ago.

I like the high contrast of colour of the ropes and bouy (did you lug them there yourself ? ;-)

Cheers

Matt

Hi Phill,

A pleasant shot with that eyecatcher in the foreground. Nice post processing on the tones and the slow water effect is nice as well.
Tell me, are you always dragging those ropes and buoy with you, or were they laying there? ;-)

Hi Phill,

I really like this photo - it really stands out from the crowd. Lovely muted colours, great composition and a fantastic effect on the water created from the long exposure.

I would say this was worth getting wet for!

Wow... you realy push the color saturation here to the max! But not to much at my opinion. THe colorful rope at the fg is an goed addiction to the composition giving more depth and interest.
