"I think that if you were to crop this image just thru the top of the dark centre ... thus giving more importance to the in focus tips it would have more of an impact and be received as you had hoped. Because the top of the image is darker in tonal ......"

"Actually this image doesn't have a grad on it, the colour is the result of muck in the air, an early start and 1/2 second exposure at ISO100. The raw image is slightly lighter, Lightroom history has very few changes. I think the grad you see is sea mist. "
Sid Jervis

"The colouring really works here - were you going for a "radioactive" effect? I can see the colour gradient transition right on the horizon, I'd recommend that you lengthen the transition and moe it upwards slightly - it would look less obvious in the sky."
