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.

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.

A few from this morning.
I got up early, 5am, looked at the sky, but it was cloudy. However, there was one star, so that did it for me, there may be some breaks. I've been meaning to get a good Bogey Hole sunrise, but lately I had been stumped by clouds, rain, big swell.
I got to King Edward Park and they were just unlocking the gates 
All photos taken with Tokina 12-24.
There was just a slight NE wind, so the water surface had a little bit of a ripple in it. (click on image for a larger one)
this was at dawn
One which is a lower perspective.
Once the sun was just getting out of the water behind the rocks
It was getting to low tide, but there was a set of waves that kept coming in about every 15 minutes that would go over the top, so I had to quickly move when one was spotted
INCOMING!!
That one didn't get me, but another one later on got my shoes soaked  
Still was a nice morning,
Comments appreciated. Does the composition work, are they too dark??
thanks,
André

Great shots,
I like the second the best, would like to see just a little more detail in the shadows.
Well worth getting up at 5.00am
Marty
What does that button do....??

makes it worthwhile getting up for.
I prefer the viewpoint of the first but the extra shadow detail of the second

The first & 3rd are my pick here. The imposing foreground posts distract me too much from the image in #2. These also seem a bit too blue to me.
I'm also impressed by your bravery. Getting around on the slippery edge to where you've taken the last 3 shots would be tricky and you'd want very dependable shoes!

Thanks for the comments, much appreciated.
Marty and Steve, I've got a few more like the second, I'll see if I can get a bit more detail.
Peter, the light was changing a fair bit over the period that I was there, Auto WB was used, but I see what you mean, I'll tone down some of the blue and see what comes out. As for being slippery, it was  I had to be extra careful when I had to move back to a safe elevetated rock. That safe rock was very rough, so it gave me good grip.
cheers,
