Yes
I took a trip to my favorite beach yesterday in hope ofsome thundery showers would form. Sadly they seemed to produce the lighting after they passed me.

I did however get to witness some brilliant weather and clouds, it also involved getting very wet at times.


Thanks for looking
Danny ☺️

Lovely trio of images.
I like the solitude and peacefulness given in No1
 
#1 Don't like it as a photograph but would as a painting (watercolour).
#2 Like it a lot. Maybe better from slightly lower PoV and shot from a pace or 2 to the right to get the edge of the water as a stronger leading line up from the corner. OR, from the same viewpoint but having more sky/less beach and getting that leading line in (but that's being very picky and to MY taste, not yours!)
#3 Too much rather plain beach for my taste - cropping to put the horizon and/or lighthouse on a third helps (and the horizon is very slightly skewed.)

I think #1 works as it's very abstract

Very nice Danny, especially 3 with the wind blowing the sand across the beach and that cloud formation.

#1 i understand ICM isn't for all
#2 no more sky or sand was available shot at 20mm and the sky above was bland.
#3 was to show the wind that was happening at the time. i try not to follow rules.
 
Three "Excellent" shots, and all nicely presented, with #1 probably being my fav'.

I really like the second in particular. Maybe just back off the contrast slightly and brighten a notch but that’s right up my street. I do like one too, but again the contrast is a bit high for my tastes. A square crop might work well. Not keen on 3 - it’s the composition as the sand draws you to the left away from the lighthouse, and part of the right side is redundant. A 7:5 crop might improve the balance

No 1 is very good. Would look great printed and on the wall!
 
Nice set Danny
You captured the windblown sand well

3rd is nice Danny (just needs the horizon straightened) 2nd looks good too, but again the horizon is quite drastically out.

Yeah I've corrected them now a few people have pointed that out to me. I do struggle correcting horizons if I'm honest.
