What did you compose at Waters Edge?

Here is an image that I want to make in applied pigment over palladiumAttachment 148551

I've never seen it, but by the sound of it it seem like you picked a great image for it.
Beautiful serene shot.

I like this a lot!

Thanks for the comment.

I noticed that the unloaded version looks softer than the same file viewed direct on my computer. I did resize it to 750 on the long side. Anyone else see this happening? I suppose most people are using links not uploads.

As far as I can tell, an uploaded-from-your-computer image is resized and heavily jpeg compressed and resized; external images (not uploaded) are resized for display but 'view image' will give the original.

Maris, I really like your chosen shutter speed to make the waves look in motion. It has a strong sense of action and movement. It's a pleasing departure from the current orthodoxy of long time exposures for moving water.

Thanks David. The waves were too nice to consign them to whipped-cream or fog.
From memory this one was done at 1/8 second @ f90. The f90 is fine for 8x10 contacts because the inevitable image diffraction still leaves more detail than the eye can see. The hard part was timing the wave while balancing on a rock in front of the camera to shade the lens from direct sunlight.
