Pawley's Island Sunset (10.13.2018)

I was enjoying a beautiful sunset at the beach and thought the moment was worth remembering so I captured this image. If I could do it again, I'd bump up the ISO and shorten the exposure to try and limit the star trails but all-in-all, this is one of my favorite shots. (Canon 5D MkIV, EF16-35mm f/4.0 (16mm). 30 Sec. at f/4.0, ISO 200).

Some CC cause you asked for it. I rated it a 2. If you correct those verticals, which is really easy in LR or Photoshop, or any other processor really, and brighten it up 2/3 to a full stop in the foreground, and slightly in the sky, it would be an easy 3.

I just have a really hard time rating any image with verticals in it that are not vertical, more than a 2, because I do a lot of interiors work, and thats a big rule for me.

You can use guided correction in LR, draw two lines and it would fix it right up and correct that distortion. Doing it in photoshop would allow you a little more flexibility as you can correct it, then do some content aware fill and not lose as many pixels.

You should post more pictures in your portfolio though, screw the trolls.
