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.

Here is another shot from Sunday. I cropped this one as I dont have anything above 70mm. Had a play with Shadows/Highlights, bumped up Saturation just 10. Cloned out a guy in an Orange Tracksuit! Geez! He was trying to steal the show... Ran a Noise Ninja on the sky. The water is very close to the original, I promise. Must be all that Toilet bowl cleaner!! C&C Welcome

G'day,

Ha, that water does have a sort of "jay's blue" about it eh??? :lol:

Looks like there's some real power in that wave, strewth!

Tempted to crop out just the small wave along the bottom so the bottom of the frame is just water, and maybe go a little easy on the sharpening, there's the beginnings of halo's on the edges of the rocks, especially on the horizon...

Looks like a great spot there!
