Description The Sea Pines Resort on Hilton Head Island is absolutely beautiful. This is the Harbour Town marina on Lighthouse Dr. This spot is the perfect romantic getaway.

I spent about an hour meticulously editing the photo. I dodged the boats and tower and selectively burned the sky and water. How would you improve this image? Critiques are welcome.

The atmosphere is really beautiful. These colours are amazing! I love the contrast between the blue and the yellow tones! So beautiful! And those reflections on the water are beautiful smooth. I like the composition, the lighthouse in the middle and all those ships around it.

You could have used a longer shutter speed and a higher aperture for making your photos sharper. For my sensation the contrast could be a little bit less but I think it's a matter of taste.

I would have retouched the red building or whatever it is.

On the whole I really like your picture. Especially the colors and the atmosphere are really aestetic.

Ooh, I love the colors on this one. They lead your eye right to the lighthouse in the center. If I were to change anything, I would bring out a tiny bit more detail in the shadows, just because it's a little more contrasty for my tastes. Otherwise, it's great.

Thank you very much GalexY. I do want to try a couple of other editing actions. I'll see if I can make it softer and warmer. It's a little too ominous right now, but that's what it looked like that night!

I don't think you need to make it warmer — the color scheme itself is great — but, naturally, it is your photo, so definitely try it out if that's something you want to do.

Thank you very much! I'm glad you like it. I was very glad to see the boats were motionless that night! Even if one boat departs or arrives, the reflection gets ruined.

I love the lighting of this. It has a really nice mood set to it. It looks pretty darn great as it is, to me.

Thank you! I felt pretty lucky to see such an epic sky, especially since it looked clear (boring) the day before.
