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!
