I wanted to have a shot at a lighter background for my laptop, and so came up with this. Any tips welcome as always, and I hope this brings some enjoyment :)
Lovely. I especially like the colours. I don't know about these things, but the land-meets-water lines don't all seem quite right. At least the nearest one doesn't and maybe the right hand one, though that's less noticeable. Could just me me, though. Not sure what's not quite striking me as right either - maybe that the shore seems to be gradual in the foreground, but the water seems to end abruptly - there's no gradual change in the apparent colouring of the water as the dark ground gradually meets it. And the line looks too regular. Of course, it _could_ drop off suddenly, but it still doesn't look quite like that to me. Don't know. Probably just me, so may be best to ignore this - but that's what struck me. The more distant elements look lovely and, as I say, I really like the colours.
Thanks - any comments that can help me improve on my images are most welcome. The near shore was mapped as a fairly steep drop-off, though having that pointed out I can see it isn't too clear. I'll keep that in mind for future attempts.
