Cloudy Morning......

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.

Forum rules
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.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

They look like airbrush paintings!!

How long was the exposure for this silky effect?

These are cracking shots.
I prefer the landscape orientation to the portrait, but I 'd be over the moon with either of them.

I saw the one Birdy printed up of yours last weekend. What a great shot that was too.

.4 sec and .6, both manual exposures

not as "silky" as I would typically have as these are fast exposures as you tell by the wave coming in.

Awesome shots Paul :!:

Peter is right about posting shots of this calibre... I might have to get out of bed early myself :)

Did you use a CPL on either shot?

No CPL, undesireable effects most of the time to me....just wake early and beat the sun....days like today reall "hit and miss" looked as though it were about to pour down :!:

Fantastic Lostdingo! The first one appeals the most to me, love that brooding sky, and the colours are wonderful. Wish I could drag myself out of bed early....probably why I shoot sunsets instead!

Well done! Love those purpley tones.

#1 is a corker Paul, although both are excellent. I never knew that Rozelle had such a fantastic landscape :lol: :lol:

Paul, another fine example of your skills.

Both images are great, but #1 is my pick here. The waves is the background have a dream like quality to them.
