Hi Asher,
Hum, in fact i used those wires to get a frame in the frame, it was an important element of the picture
Cedric,
Yes, you imagined that! Well that was not a possibility that I had considered! Well, I did not succeed this time! It's always a risk trying to "better" express what another person is trying to articulate! Eventually, good friends and strong enemies can finish each other's sentences! I'd hope to be in the former category.
Still, it's possible that when you see the scene, you see it without the wires and then with it too. In real life, all you have to do is move your head and the wires do not take anything away from the sky. Nothing is blocked. Also you can smell the salt of the sea water. So the wires may not be so distracting when you are experiencing so much. On a flat screen, however, everything is fixed and we see only what's there, before us.
You can remember!
Now, Cedric, this is even before the Sigma chain of translating your ideas into colors get screwed up!
I think this picture is better in color but i discovered yesterday evening that i have serious problems with Sigma Photo Pro software (SPP) : there are mysterious color shifts and casts when i edit X3F files (raw files from Sigma), i can't get a correct tonality... Colors are really weird and un-natural... When i convert X3F files to DNG files using Adobe DNG Converter, i can edit them in Camera Raw and i get neutral and balanced colors as they should be in SPP... But, then, sharpness seems to be far from what i could obtain in SPP... So, i have now a serious post-treatment problem to solve before to continue with my pictures, it's quite frustrating and hard to understand.
I'm sorry you are having this problem with color. How about the B&W. Is that not what you'd hope for too?
Asher
