Aruba Beach Scene

Photographers Comments
This picture was taken on a recent trip to Aruba, and I applied HDR using Dynamic-Photo HDR

Hello young fellow! Good to see You! Golly ... You do get around. Looking a spiffing place for *rest & relaxation* *salute*

Don't know where Aruba is but I sure would like to visit, particularly to see the wonderful skies! However I don't like the words across the middle : - (

Lying just off the coast of Venezuela, in the Caribbean Sea, this tiny island is less than 32km long.

Hi Gary, I have to agree with Alistair about the wonderful blue skies and I like the colourful boats on beach. I would prefer not to see your copyright over the image, as the image should only be a small file anyway, so if anyone wanted to download it they would only be able to print a small copy before it came pixelated.

I don't believe anyones Logo should even come into question.
If it is expected that Members should conform in a special way, perhaps the Administration should make it clear that Logos are not wanted on Photographs.

Hi to All;

Thanks for the comments, they are appreciated as always. The HDR processing does adds to the dynamics of a picture, but is not suited for all images. As for the "Watermark" I agree with Tedz. One should look beyond the watermark when assessing an image. I have been to many sites where Pro's & Amateur photographers have seen their images on other sites regardless of the minimum resolution. Some people will steal anything. Having said that I think I will continue to place my Logo on my images if for no other reason than to make it more difficult for someone to steal it.

Agreed.
I understand why you do it but it is a distraction no matter how hard you try to see through it.

Wonderful image. composition and colours superb

Hi TCO;

Thank you for the comment. If I find that the "Watermark" is interferring with assessments then I will move it down to the lower left of the image, and maybe reduce the opacity a little more. I would even consider eliminating it, but reduce the resolution way down so as to make it literally impossible to reproduce.
