I have nothing to say!
Just love the colors and the mood!
How do you catch these shots every time!?

Beautiful shot. Looks like a motivational poster. Do you apply gradient-maps to these?

Very beautiful shot, as usual. +10

Phenominal, tekb! Dramatic nature is always on the top of my list!

WOW - impressive as always.. hope you get your Elite status.. definately my favorite photographer.. excellent shot as always +10

Impressive, The color is just striking.

Nice work as ususal!
Looks very similar to a few of your other works!
It would be really interesting if you could tell us how you do it...!

as usually, a very nice one.. as usually, without EXIF values...
I would like to see some values... why your pictures don't have the exif values? are you removing them with purpose? or you just use some program that does't without your will, like Neat Image demo version?
you can PM me if you want to answer..

You got a point here Remus,
I too would like to know or see the exif values...!

stunning... You'll probably be an elite soon

+10 of course

Just gorgeous. You are so good at this type of work. Great choice of shutter speed to make the water look as it does as a wave rolls in.

Excellent work.

Michelle

Hi tekb, I hope you stand behind your post and answer people's questions. Come on, we share and learn from each other.

The picture is wonderful...great colors and details.....some small parts look oversharpened to me....maybe from the resizing.......Zanzivar has a point!!!

You've really captured something gorgeous here, but there seems to be a tiny bit of blur. Maybe jpg compression issues or a slight camera shake. If those clouds were in perfect focus, this would be superb.

I think the border calls too much attention to itself here.

As far as EXIF data, I'm not sure they matter much after you've done enough post work in Photoshop. It looks to me like you did at least some work, and I'd be interested in knowing that.

That said, I don't think it's mandatory for you to give away your secrets, but realize that this site is mainly for the education of others. If you give, you will receive as well.

WOW very impressive. Great quality.

This is a stunning shot indeed. I agree with wanting to see the EXIF data and some description as to location, intent, etc.

good picture as many said........u missed a gradient there on the border on top right corner........picture is cool.

thank u for the feed back. I am replying in this question because so many ask about exif values.
First of all helping others. I believe in open resource for everyone but that is a ideal world. I am sure this might cross ur mind that this is not my primary focus in life and i cannot invest to much time in hobby. My passion is photography and will be for years to come it is not my profession. But i dont have too much time to answer all of the question. I hope u might have noticed that i dont come around online very often. I do usually vote but not leave comment because some picture can not be further amended r there is nothing to tell about the picture. As far as exif values goes its time consuming to right and why the pictues dont have exit values because i optimize the picture for the use on the web. I give my original pictures for print purposes only to close friends. Let me ask u one thing how many art galleries have u seen where the artist describe the exif values. I once visited a picture gallery of a good artist. I remember a youngerster in his early twenties asking the artist about the same Exif values, and he was the laughingstock in that gallery. Get to know ur camera than exif values. The most import things r the different
attributes which cameras operate on.It will not work the same for everyone.
-WHite Balance
-ISO setting
-apertures
-exposure Bias
-Shutterspeed
-exposure Compensation
-Metering Mode

go to wards then
-Lenses
-Filters
-Tripods

I once heard bad photogapher talk about camera good photographer talk about lenses and great photographer talk about tripods. there is simple logic in it think about it.One great advise someone gave me, see lots on movies which have good visual effect. Try to capture in ur mind good picture in it. See how focus is given to subjects in the movies. Freeze good moments in the movie. Try to find the lights positions and the mood.Get the composition, placement, viewpoint, perspective right. My definition of photography is proper documentation of light. Our eyes sees the world differently then camera do. Its 2d presentation of the 3d world the main focus in my mind is that i get the shape of the subject right by the help of light its coverage over the shape and the shadows.Put ur picture in fornt of right people. Be critical to ur pictures in the same way as u will be to others.I can not answer questions like how do u take these picture etc.i can help photographers with specific technique in photoshop r shooting related.Although it is good to have ur own specific technique which separates ur wrok from others.

Taking about the picture. It is nice fine sharp picture. i just added a orange gradiend to the picture which is clearly visible u can see it not been done very perfectly. the orange is overlaying the rock in the sea. light does not behave in that way. Some correction in levels and contrast. and croping to make the composition better. the location is baltic sea. I will love to answer questions.

i will update my gallery when there is lots of time perhaps very sunday so that i can include exif values and main process behind the picture. Lastly i am not single outing anyone maybe i am not seeing the other perpective i would like to hear another point of view. so plz dont take it seriously i dont mean to prove the other point of veiw wrong. I am human and may miss some side of the issue. Please send me email at bartek2004@gmail.com if u want to reply. since i regular check my email.

Thanks for responding. Some interesting thoughts and good advice overall.

I've never really been a fan of people asking for the EXIF values, because I don't really think most people understand them fully. But, I think mostly what people want to know are actually the things you listed (ISO, aperture, shutter, etc.), and not really the EXIF values...but people ask for the EXIF because it includes all those things. If that makes sense...

So I'm guessing an orange gradient was applied to "Frozen" and "The Sunset" as well? I'm not really sure if that would make this a "photo-manipulation" or not. Personally I feel that if a great deal of post-processing is done (to the point where the photo hardly looks like the original) it should go under "photo-manipulation." But that's only my opinion, and I don't think the guidelines for that type of thing are very well defined.

Thanks for the explanation though, it's appreciated.

Guidelines for Photography and Photomanipulation are underway.

tekb, thanks for your input. If you don't mind, I will considr your words while defining the guidelines that are to come. If you notice in my gallery, I stopped posting the EXIF values also.

Keep up the good work!

boskie! niebo jest niesamowite. swietnie ujecie wody, wyglada bardziej jak trawa, albo i zboze na wietrze.

Surreal!! I love the red gradient you have in you recent ones!!

Now this is artistic! I can say that you really know what your doing.
+10

Beautiful

always wonderful to see artwork from you
cheers on the nominations

I love the way Bartek explained his words...this is how artists should react

First tell me it's a very good photo...I love it very much ...I've a similar sort of photo...but not as good as you besides...I'm a bad photographer...so, I always complain about my camera....it's very bad one

About learning...I believe...books on photograhy mostly are very well written...and most of the time ..I take advise from them
