CommentI wanted feedback on this image because I was concerned that the over-exposed white areas would be a problem. This is where the sunlight was hitting the water and not too sure how I would have prevented this?

Glenn Pure2026-07-01 09:09:50Hi Angela, I quite like the shot but agree the over-exposed areas are an issue... but perhaps not for the reason you are thinking. The overexposure itself is fine in a situation like this but they have been processed so they now look grey, not white. Most would find it better if they washed out area on the right was left pure white rather than light grey. Hope that helps.
