My 1st attempt at a long exposure of rough seas. With a total lunar eclipse this week i couldn`t resist.
Very little post processing, just cropped slightly and levels adjustment and put through neat image.
I can`t tell you how much i like this canon 300D:)

At first look there was a distinct 'wow' but then I also love eclipses. I like the tone of blue and the diagonal shoreline. But the more I look at it the less I'm liking the detail-less water. I'm assuming it was neatimaged to make it look smooth, but I think it's a little overdone and has taken away most of the characteristics that an ocean has.
Wow! I love the soft feel of the water due to the long exposure. The texture of the beach really plays off the soft water. And then there's just a hint of moon. Beautiful.
This is an arresting image with a fascinating depth when viewed on a flat screen from different angles. The colours and composition are effective and stimulating. the only thing that detracts from its appeal for me is the apparently over blurred/softened water. 8
