I’m really fond of this picture, particularly the light and the perspective. Composition and cropping has been a bit challenging, I’ll gladly hear any suggestions! Hope you like it, happy exposures everyone :)

I really like that, it’s got a lovely dreamy quality 😊
Nice dream.
Mmm, you want that much sky and that sort of width, so I can see why you end up with that amount of blurred stuff at the bottom to balance the sky.
It’s pointless saying "Take the shot from somewhere else with a foreground that works better: the swans will be where they will be, and having the headland fade into the sea between the two swans seems right, setting the angle.
My only suggestions are to trim the bottom as much as your artistic sense allows (but I guess you’ve done that), and perhaps brighten and flatten it towards the photos average to de-emphasize it. Maybe vignette?
That’s very interesting. Feels kinda like a tilt-shift but I’m guessing just a narrow depth of field?
Yep, was my first outing with the RF 45mm F1.2
Too much blurry foreground hurts my eyes… less is more.
Thanks for your feedback :)
I wanted to achieve the dreamiest effect possible, then I thought of cropping the very blurry bottom part by going 3:4 instead of 2:3 but didn’t like it as much.
