Another few photos taken in the Margaret River region C&C welcome!





Both taken in the same area!

Thats some impressive colouring. The water esp on the R foreground esp on the foreground and some of the rocks may be too richly blue
Very striking photo though!

I think there is a little too much saturation and contrast in these which to my eyes makes them look artificial. I would tone both down slightly.

Otherwise, compositionally (if that is a word?) number one is good. I would be tempted to remove the seagull though.

Scott,

For the first of these, please take a step bak in you sharpening; I think it's been over-sharpened.

I think the colours are great, but I do prefer richness to pasty.

It looks like a painting !

i like the first one the best, it does look a little artificial however i like the shape of the rocks sweeping around.

Yeah I think you are right, I sometimes oversharpen things! Might tone it down abit and see how they look!

Awww I like the seagull lol!!

#1 is definitely a standout... I keep going back and forth on whether the seagull should be there or not. In the end, I reckon removing it turns it into more of a painting.... I like the saturation effect, and the advantage of the seagull is to keep a bit of it 'natural'

I liked the seagull too. It seems to give the picture more perspective.
