Specific Horizon light sliver and water color

[white101]

Please extend the horizon line past midway to the right. Also, lightly add some green and blue above the crashing wave. Thank you.

Water coloured and a little sharper .. not certain about the horizon line extension though ....

Love the sharpness of the wave. To get the white sliver on the horizon, the sky and water need to return to their original grey. Some touches of green would be nice in the crashing wave (translucent) and above the wave in the dark area. Some touches of blue midway between the wave and the horizon on the right side would be ideal. Thanks.

There seems to be some confusion as to what you mean by, "extending the horizon to the RIGHT" Horizons can only go up and down.

This is the horizon line. It can only be moved up or down.......

To get the white sliver on the horizon, the sky and water need to return to their original grey.

Please explain! This is very confusing.

Where the water meets the horizon, there are two distinct tonal variations in your photo.
The red arrow shows a white area between the water and the sky, possibly land.
The blue area shows a much more delineated dark water and a lighter sky.

Are you wanting the "red arrow" area to extend all the way across to the right???

 

[white101]

Sorry for the confusion. As mentioned in my original request, I asked that the white sliver (the area marked by the red arrow) extend to about the middle of the image. This would be on the horizon going toward the blue arrow area.

The white horizon sliver is more prominent by contrast when the sky and water are the original gray image.

When I referred to some touches of blue, I meant them to be placed on the right side of the image, midway between the wave and the horizon. Not on the horizon.

Like this?

No, the sliver should go to about where the 3rd bird in a row is up on the horizon, and the sky needs to return to its original gray.

Hows this

Hi @white101
I am sure it is quite clear what you want in your mind; it's a bit hard to know exactly what you envision from a text description alone.
I extended the horizon line, decreasing its width as you move to the right so it was not an abrupt change.
For the color, I used a weighted gradient from left to right for the ocean up to and not including the horizon line as a somewhat transparent and Layer blend of color to do the colorization. It was an ocean Hue (which is closer to Cyan that Blue with a color wheel anble of 205 (blue = 240 and Cyan = 180) yet you may have wanted a slightly different hue, which is easy to change.

Thought it was worth a shot

That's what I was looking for on the horizon, John. Thanks. The sky still looks slightly lighter than my original. I like Babine's sharp contrast of the wave and how he/she got back to the gray on the right at the horizon line. Other than Babine's right water color, the gray on the left should stay gray until about where the horizon sliver ends. I know it's difficult from the text, but you guys are doing great. Thanks

Interesting. I checked the ICC profile of your image and it was not the standard sRGB profile with a white point at D65 rather a white point of D50.
So this next version I left it in the original sRGB profile with D50 white point. That might have been the issue with if being a bit brighter. Also changed the color to fade towards the horizon.
INice shot BTW

I calibrate my monitor with a SpyderXpro. That might have something to do with the profile settings. Nice blending of the horizon. I'd still like to keep the left side above the wave gray and midway, ease into Babibe's color there.

Changed the Hue from 205 to 218 (as in Babines) and faded it in from about the middle to the right.
