From my recent trip to Chile. Due to time, place, wind, etc, I forced the composition -- the image seems to have a top and bottom halves that do not support each other, if that makes sense. The water is the glacier-blue instead of clear water.
The rock in the water anchors the picture and is too high up, could crop or reshoot, guess both are out of the question. Think if the water was blue then why not cyanotype or better still a combination with PP. When I look at it blue, it seems to work much better for me.
I think if the water was clear it would work well in PP. The blue of the water must be impressive in color. Be very challenging to get it to work in mono tones. If you can split tone it might just pull it together.
Cyanotype and PP could be worth a try, water would be good to see in blue.
It does seem quite unsharp. I have that Computar but have never used it..gigantic lens. Does it have the tremendous coverage some claim? Have you used yours extensively? What do you think about it?
The image is sharper than reproduced, but I think there was some camera shake (winds). And I should have scanned it rather than the digital camera...but I was more interested in compositional problems. The Computar Symmetrigon 210/6.3 is not huge -- but it did come with a metal screw-on lens shade which makes it look big (Copal 1 shutter). Very sharp lenses with good contrast...four air spaced elements (thus the lens shade), but will not cover 8x10. Great 5x7 lens, but it is not the f9 which has the large coverage.
