#2 doesnt work for me it's not got enough colour in it forme

Beautiful colours in the 1st one but do you really need all this fg? How about a pano crop?

Thanks Dimitri, I'll have a little crop in PS :)

You have captured some lovely tones, but I would have been tempted to be a bit nearer to the water.

Unfortunityl Peter, I didn't have my tripod with me so had to rest the camera on the rocks (as far forward as I could get it)..
 
They're both good shots, despite the colour cast, but as others said would have been better to be closer to the water and have a bit more foreground interest. Y'know what to remember next time now ;)
 
Yep, duly noted, Steffan :)

Both had potential to be fantastic if you had a tripod and a pair of wellies, those branches in No2 would of made for a excellent foreground.
Very nice images but you missed a opportunity for something a bit special.
 
I know, Neil, but we were camping and my tripod was to heavy to take with me :(
 
A couple of very fine shots there, as stated perhaps a Pano would work well or look towards a rule of thirds, which would have been achieved by limiting the foreground. The use of a graduated ND filter would have lightened up the rocks a little. However I do like number 1 - it's a good exposure for me as you do have definition to the rocks. What's that shadowing on the rocks in the sea in 1 please.

Sorry to sound like I know what I'm talking about but just read the Bryan Peterson book :)

I kinda like number 1 with the foreground - to me, it has interest by way of the shape, colour and texture of the stones. They could possibly do with lightening just a little and maybe a slight lift in contrast though. Possibly a little straighten, too. [Edit] Scratch that - it would make the rest of the shot look wonky!

They almost give it a lead in which is full width, it kinda makes me want to walk down to the shoreline.

I was using a ND8 + a ND4 grad filter to get the long exposure, Gavin.

The shadowing on the water is actualy ducks :LOL:
 
I did wonder with the nicely defined rocks and the long exposure but couldn't see the exif for exposure length. ND8 in one of them and ND4 in the other? Or did you overlap one over the sky?

Might I suggest one less brick on the beach and therefore 10 less ducks on the picture to 'fowl' things :)
