Incoming Tide

Two images layer blended, erased, overlayed and who knows what elsed...f:22, 1.5 and 3 seconds,.9GND ISO 100 Need some good C&C.

The idea is very interesting. You have captured the motion of the water keeping the other areas frozen.

I clearly see that this was your intention. I am not sure if the 3/4 ratio is the best solution for this image. I tend to use my crop factor constant to certain measures as you know but that is not the point of my comment now.

Anyway, for this image I would use the rate 3/5 or something longer, more horizontally shaped. This crop factor would increase the feeling of motion of the water. What I have done is not the best solution as I would like a bit more information on the top of scene. If I may say like this: more room for the solid less for the water.

And however, the brighter stripe of the water doesn't seem to make any balance with the blue of the wood.

And... (as I write I go to CS and modify the photo) I have done something that looks more balanced and I must re-consider what I said before.

For me, now it looks better with a brighter stripe on the bottom and a bright area in blue with a more "centered" composition.

I also like the fine white line on the rust and the algae on it

I have done some transformation on the photograph trying to show what I think and the last one is the best where I think I show what I think is the best composition.

I also hope that these lines are of any help.The third is the same as the larger one.

Reviewing minutes later:

The importance of the crop factor !

I met you closer to you but not so far from me on thisone..I did like the idea of adding to the top piece and now looking at it, think I am going to go back and cap the piling about half way up.

Try to place that white line in the middle of the frame and the blue structure at the thirds... or nearby
