Desmond James
This is exceptionally beautiful, wonderfully exposed too!
Philip Young
looks unreal, would have expectecd to see some light on the sea. Nobody else ahs asked if it’s a composite so I will – Is it a composite? it looks like one (doesn’t “feel right” )
but don’t get me wrong, it’s a beautiful image
bensound replied
Ha ha no Philip it’s not a composite. I fool around in photoshop but I wouldn’t even know how to do a composite. I guess there’s no light n the sea because the rays are a long way out to sea.
I brightened the rays a bit to help them stand out so maybe that is what throws you.
Leah Bouchier-...

Madeleine Weber
Wonderful piece of art but bad bad stitch ( ;
bensound replied
Thanks Madeleine, if by ‘stitch’ you mean I composited the photo, I didn’t.
Maybe there is a slight line from putting a multiply layer over the sky but it’s real, & I’m happy to email anyone the RAW file to prove it.
Thank you.
