Swell conditions

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.

Choppy water, windy as heck and seaspray all over me and the camera :twisted: Mind you the police did show up at one time and wondered what I was doing until I stepped aside and showed them the camera ;)

Hi Wayne,
I don't mind the first one but the others don't do much for me, sorry :roll:

It's hard to expose for the dark foreground and bright sky, isn't it !
Looks like an ND filter would work great here. BTW, good thing the police didn't confiscate your camera and throw you in the paddy-wagon for a rough-up and a ride to the station....
Sorry - I read in the media that this is what happens :wink:

Wayne,

you call that choppy water?? :wink: :wink:

Nice to be doing ocean seascapes isn't it?

First one for me as well. Might look even better in a square crop.

Second one doesn't really have anything to hold your attention

Third one has potential, I think it would look nice in B&W

Fourth doesn't grab me much, maybe from a lower perspective :?

Anyway, nice to see you doing landscape, you are getting better as you get out there. As Dave said, you'll should be putting in an order for those grad ND filters for Christmas.

cheers,

André

Hi there, nos. 3 & 4 look great. On 1, the signal does not quite stand out just enough for me. No. 2 is pleasant but doesn't really grab me.
I like your work Piro!!!!

Out of these #3 by a long way. Don't the police have anything better to do? :?: Cheers, Max.
