To be honest, I'm not sure how this didn't get rejected as a "snapshot". Even in the thumbnails, there is bad pixelation, poor image quality, the color is washed out, and there's really nothing to look at. Sorry to be harsh, but since I was asked to comment on this, I thought I'd be honest. Ocean shots like this have a lot of potential, but it looks like you "stole" this with your cellphone. Try again, but take more time to really capture something to look at and work to ensure good exposure and image quality.

While there are admittedly some flaws here, I see that you are a new member and that this is your first upload, so I want to welcome you to Caedes and ask you to be patient and upload again. I think that your idea for a shot here was good and with a little more work and some investigation into software for post work would help out. There are some very good suggestions over in the FAQ portion of the site which can be found on the left-hand side under "Navigation".

While I have to agree with everyone before me, I too wish to welcome you to Caedes. I'm new here as well.
While I would agree that this does look more like a snapshot, I understand how difficult it is to shot the ocean and capture exactly what you want. Keep trying though, it takes practice. Don't be discouraged. The people here for the most part are honest, and wish only to help you with their comments.

Ok, my comments... Does kinda look like a snapshot, colors faded etc. Concept was good, I like the lens flair. Keep trying, play with lighting. Best of luck, and welcome.

Welcome to Caedes. I agree with PJ (phasmid) that while there are some flaws here, the general concept is very good. I like the composition of this capture. Keep trying and good luck!
