Don't mind the partial desaturation, however in my opinion it does detract from the 'sparkle' of the water a little, even though I realize you are trying to enhance it. May just be a visual thing, as the eye gets 'drawn' to that lower half of the shot. The main thing for me in your entry:
was the out of focus fore/bottom (which you've desaturated here). Perhaps a tighter crop (quality dependent), still trying to retain the vertical frame may have helped, not sure.
Nice capture of the light play on the water overall though, in my opinion. |
