Photo of the Month 2022 - Wave Watchers (February)
Posted: Fri 18 Mar 2022, 13:30
Watching the waves at Shoreham during Storm Franklin.
I included this shot in the image critique evening at the club on 16 March and modified it based on the judge's feedback. I have darkened the man's hands to make them less intrusive and cloned some of the waves on the upper third with the Lightroom Spot Removal tool set to Healing mode. The original section of the image had an area of sea that was originally dark and looked a bit flat when lightened. I was aware of both issues beforehand but in this form the shot is no longer eligible for Landscape Photographer of the Year.
