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.

Paul,
Once again, you're showing off some nice seascape photos in the early hour, great works as usual.
Yes, the 17-35 AF-S is the one bringing loves + joys to my photography hobby.

that first shot is awesome!
love the look of the sky, and the smoothness of the water
the second doesnt do as much for me, i think because there isnt as much colour.

very nice Paul
I like the colors of the first one, I had the option of going in this direction with my shot but for the competition warmer colors tend to do better

I'm like you in preferring the second one... mainly for the great lines that lead you through the photo in a zigzag path yet still keeps you in the shot
you can really see the grad ND filter effect... but I'm not sure that it is not over done with the light reflecting on the sand being brighter than the sky where the light is coming from... but I'm probably nit picking now :)

can you let us know what the camera setting were for these

thanks

Very nicely done... I'm another that seems to enjoy the second image more, I think because of the lines that take me through the image, although I love the soft misty water around the rocks in the first... Images seem really nice and sharp with great color too...

Why do you say "it looks like a painting" ? One of my pet peeves is people comparing photography to painting. It is a painting, Photography means "painting with light".

Often photography requires much more skill and dedication to produce a great image.

Sorry to rant but It's a photograph and a good one too! :D :D :D :D

cheers doug :D :D :D :D
