 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.

 I revisited this great location just to use my newly delivered remote (after it was lost somewhere in some beach    ) Thanks to everyone who provided me valuable feedback from the last lot of shots in this location. One person even provided face to face feedback (during a recent meet) which was very much appreciated! I didn't expect tonight to be a show at all but it wasn't bad considering there weren't too many clouds at around 4:30pm. At last I had the location to myself without any weddings or other photogs..     It is a truly great place to witness the sunset. Despite a few street sounds behind you, one can get lost in the twilight.

 Suren, your pounding this location hard eh! I like the first two, a bit extra brightness and contrast might not go astray, 
 The composition is nice, however I get to the end of the jetty expectin something else, maybe if the sun ain't there go for the symmetry ?
 
 The otehr issue which is nothign related to you or the shots, I have seen this location photographed heaps, hence my wow factor is low since all the compositions are similiar.
 
 I reckon you need to don those booties and punch on for a composition that no one else has - especially now that I know you have no fear of the ocean!

 Much better than mark 1 Suren.The perspective is better with the jetty providing the lead into the image.
 Just need the sun to cooperate and provide a heap of colour at the end of the jetty for impact and ultimate resting place for the eyes

 Hmm.. I think my monitor seems to have been set too bright as of late...     Thanks Gerry for your comments. biggerry wrote:however I get to the end of the jetty expectin something else, maybe if the sun ain't there go for the symmetry ?
 Here is one for you Gerry. I am not crazy about symmetry that much. I know the Engineering types are.      biggerry wrote:hence my wow factor is low since all the compositions are similiar.
 Fair nuf. I may have to don my booties and see some new compositions. It's just a lake so no waves. I will have to be careful of mud etc. Don't want to get stuck....

 Thanks Ray. Next time I think a fisherman with a rod n hat in silhoutte..... .... ....      Since it's accessible area + sunset is getting later, I will have a few more attempts.

 You are getting some very nice images from this location. All of these have an eerie feel about them, but have great balance between the sky and water.
