The local..beach. Taken at Freshwater Beach yesterday afternoon. The sky/clouds were kinda cool. Comments welcomed:

Special Moments Photography Nikon D700, 50mm 1.4, 85mm 1.4, 70-200 2.8VR, SB800 & some simple studio stuff.
I find the first two a bit hard to look at because the sky is quite blown - but it looks like there might be enough data in there to make a merge from an under exposed raw conversion.
The last one I think would be good if it were cropped maybe a 3rd of the way up from the bottom. Looks like a nice place for swimming though.

#3 is the pick here, although I'd lighten the foreground a little. #2 is the weakest since my eyes track down the path to the beach, find nothing there stare at the clouds then leave the frame. Next time get Bel to stand at the end of the path. This would make for a much stronger image. Peter

Geoff - #1 and #2 - overexposed skies - lacking any punch and way too blue/cold. No points of real interest in the photos
#3 may be passable with a severe crop. The foreground is an unattractive dirty beach. I would have been inclined to get really close to the person on the beach and shoot upwards with a extreme wide angle ![]()
