What did you compose at Waters Edge?

I think I would prefer the cold, in Sydney today it is 40c about 105f, like the photo

Ha, thanks David. I spent one Christmas in Sydney and remember the heat very well. 40C during the day didn't bother me but 35 at night was hard to handle without AC. Still when you are standing on a wharf in -5C temperatures with another 5 degrees of windchill, 40C seems pretty attractive

It was a bitterly cold day in Le Havre but the mist was nice...

I enjoyed this picture very much!

So, since my monitor isn't tall enough to see it all, I dragged it to the desktop and opened it in Apple's "Preview" (image viewer) program in order to see it a bit smaller and see the composition... wow, a different image emerged! While viewed in the browser, the image was almost monochrome, like it was de-colorized. In the image viewer the water turned green and the sky became a clear blue again.

It seems your image has a color profile "Epson Perfection V700/V750 - film" incorporated. Apparently the browser (FireFox in this case) doesn't color manage images, so it showed the colors different. The image viewer color manages and shows the picture with full colors. I'm myself only in the process of getting my mind around all this color management stuff right now, so I can't tell you more really, but I think there's something you should be able to do differently. If someone knows the proper procedure to prepare color images for presentation in web browsers, I'd like to know too.

Thank you Sascha - very useful information. I had no idea that JPGs incorporated the profile. (I knew TIFFs did, but I thought when I saved as JPG, that went away. Clearly not.) This is really a helpful remark and I will certainly try to figure out how to fix this.

Kind regards

David.

Lovely, Struan. I like the colour gradation bottom to top.

Subtly fascinating - I like this very much.

Yet another shot of one of my favorite spots, been seen in this thread before, but now an autumn view. Canham 8x10, Schneider 150 SSXL at f/16, Portra 400NC, Epson V750.

sly, David. Thanks.

I've known this rock a long time (we usually disrobe in its lee before swimming). I've just as long been fascinated by the the colour washes laid upon the red sandstone by barnacles and lichen, from low water springs up to windblown spume, but it's taken a fair bit of trial and error to get the right graphic feel.

Here's another, higher up the sequence, where the lichens give an almost lith-like feel.

Tidal Sandstone, Achnahaird bay.
