Project 365 – Day 115

“Sunset On The Long Island Sound”
The sun is setting around 4:00 PM these days, making its sight a difficult one to capture during the workweek. We arrived just in time for that one. I took it in Manor Park, a favorite location of ours. What you can see at the bottom of the rocks are mussel beds, a good indicator of a healthy ecosystem. I’m grateful for the two ducks passing by as I was taking the shot… they’re balancing the photo a little. If only they came closer, and there were nice clouds… Well, those things were out of my control. I did the best I could with what was there. I’m curious though… is there anything that bothers you in this shot?
Love the colors and the composition! I wonder how the shot would look if you could exclude the duck that is exiting the frame. Just curious
J’aime bien la couleur mais pour ce qui est de la compo, j’aime moins. Il n’y a pas grand chose qui stoppe le regard. Comme quoi, chacun a sa propre sensibilité :p !
C’est ton ombre sur le rocher ?

Thank you Sujatha. That duck was too fast for my timer, I’m lucky I got it at all. I agree with you, it would probably have been better a few seconds earlier or later. There’s something else that needed to be cropped on the left, I was wondering whether it was obvious or not.

En effet… pour moi aussi, cela manque de quelque chose. Je me demandais si quelqu’un allait remarquer l’ombre à gauche. Il s’agit de mon trépied. J’allais me cacher derrière un autre rocher avant de déclencher, sinon cela aurait été bien pire. J’aurais pu enlever cette partie après coup mais j’ai décidé de la laisser. J’ai constaté que de nombreux photographes oublient ce détail dans leurs propres photos, donc je souhaitais montrer quel genre de problème cela peut apporter.
