Daily Shot from Paradise - Malediven

[Phototravellers]

Hi Guys,

I'll you show some pictures from Maldives. I apologise for my poor standard of English. I live in Bavaria/Germany. :aureola:

First Picture

Fantastic range of colors. I think I'd like it a bit lighter, more definition in the shadows. Looks like a beautiful place.

stunning , very very nice !

nice colors
nice long exposure

the rock onthe right look a bit too dark , did you used a graduated ND filter ?

looks great. the exposure is right on. even throughout. love the calm water and turbulent cloud contrast.

is there a slight curvature to the horizon? or is it just an illusion?

My ruler says it is straight. Then again, he has lied to me before...

I like what ever the white stuff is in the foreground. Mist, or sandy water, or foam. What ever it may be, it has that softness in contrast with the coral. Like a drawn out bubble bath with a lufa sponge. The sky is just the bonus.

WOW! This is beautiful! There is nothing like a slow shutter over water with a sunset in the background and some beautiful blue water to make you wish like hell you were there. Nice work Phototravellers!

nice way to express the feeling I got while seeing this photo

Beautiful...especially from the bottom frame up to the horizon, but like Leels I feel the sky and clouds aren't right for this. The turbulent clouds could have worked in a way, but the way they are here with the gap on the right side it creates an unsettling balance that seems to undermine the enormous potential of the scene.
I think isolating smaller areas of this scene would have worked best rather than trying to take in the entire scope.
Still, a lovely image.

Hi guys,

tank you for replies.

yes, I've used a graduated ND filter.
I think there is no curvature to the horizon, it's just an illusion.
