Midnight sun

One of the most beautiful beaches in Lofoten Islands. People looking at a silent, beautiful midnight sun. Hour about 00.30. No wind. Really cold. Only one man with his tripod walking on waters to shot a picture. Lucky man, lucky moment.

Hi Stefano
Good long exposure. Great colors, and a good way you use the stream as a leading line. What Im not found of is the way it's balanced. The on the left it's way too dark, it's like it's tilting. But overall good picture.

Thank you very much KL! So do you suggest to give a little bit more exposure on the left?

First of all, it's not a bad picture or anything, not at all. But for me i would lighten up the shadow on the left a bit. I think the contrast between the shadow area(left) og the highlight area(setting sun is to big. It's not a bad contrast either, but i think the dark area, takes up a bit too much of the visual weight. Hope it makes sense?

Yes, it does make sense. I understand your point of view. Maybe the entire lower part should be lighten. I'm going to try

Do upload when your done. I like too see it :-)

Maybe like this?

This is just what I was think. In my opinion this is much more visual balanced. The light sand goes great with the sunset, and the dark mountains and skye goes with the dark rock in the left of the picture! I like this the most. Great job!

Thanks KL, anyway this last version is the one I uploaded in my website ;)

Well done, looking forward too see more of your work :-)
