Some pics from last weekend

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Nice shots Gerard and it looks like the weather was very kind to you.

The blown highlight in the waves of the first one spoil it a little for me. If you shot RAW, perhaps you can bring out some more detail there, followed by opening another exposure to bring out the detail in the rocky cliff area. merge the two images and it should balance up very nicely.

I like the composition of the boat shot but it seems a little low on contrast. At the moment, it's somewhere between low and high contrast and I would prefer to see the yacht as almost a silhouette. Merely a question of personal taste. :D

hey glamy

first one ... looks fine, except the horizon isnt straight :)

second one ... blown background of the image weakens things somewhat ... maybe a tight 12 x 4 inch type crop could save things

third i love the expression on his face. Perhaps more colour?

Much better Gerard but I guess there wasn't a lot to work with regarding the whitewater detail. Very difficult to balance an exposure like this with such lighting contrasts in the scene but you've done well.

:)

I also love this coastline photos #1, but maybe lower angle(10cm above the plants) will be better for show the scale this monumental rocks? Ths is only suggestion for future ;) Good photos!
