Haven't been very active lately due to moving house and doing a lot of other stuff. But got out this morning and rekindled the flame and am keen to get back out there again.

Owen - not sure if its just me but most of these look rather dark / unexposed to me.. I'm on a pretty bright LCD so I'm suprised at how dark they are.

Hi Craig. Thanks for the comment, they are dark - I underexposed about 2/3 to emphasise the dark clouds as well as stop the light from the sun from blowing out. Because it was a dark morning the camera was trying to make everything very bright.

They look a overcompressed to me. Heaps of jpg artifacts.

I really like the third one
the composition is thoughtful the duck in that empty space balances out the boat on the left
and the moody tones of the picture are lovely

I like very much - low-key works well, dark and moody.

Thanks for the comments guys.

Actually I haven't put much effort into uploading these, hence the compression artifacts. Used the XP power tool to resize it and then I think photobucket compressed it even more when uploading. Still got to get back into a rhythm with the post processing.
