Ok so this is my first photo on this forum for crit so please, play nice, thanks!

So I went out for a drive to find a location to get some sunset shots, I have not had time to process them all but here is a first image let me know what you think...

Not bad at all

The layers in the ground help give some interest. Think I'd have cropped off some of that solid dark base. nice job with a difficult exposure.

I must say I agree. A slightly tighter crop would work well. the sky is fantastic thought! nice work

NOW can you see why I am not PP'ing too many of my own from current trip.... that dark base....I can see a mown field and a grass area beyond in that 'dark base'.....and no amount of piddling with settings on lappy gets rid! :shake:



However, beautiful shot ukd, one I really look forward to viewing on proper monitor when i get home - the detail layers look like they really work!

Lovely colour in the sky and nice crisp silhouette, well done

Lovely sunset, looks tropical and not British!

Hope you don't mind, here's how I'd crop it if it were mine.

You shouldn't be aiming to get rid. I can see it now I know it is there! Maybe yours should just be less obvious

Fabulous sky well captured. I do like Susanne's crop and frame, it makes it just that bit more special.

I had an issue with my iMac having a much darker display than my Sony TFT which I have plugged into it, basically one has the fields one has a black expanse it should be the latter which you see.

Here is some more...

I like the cornfield in number 2....the warmth of the colours is super and I like the effect the lens flare gives.

Thanks, btw every one just been playing with iLife 08 from last night when I went to regents street and I can say its a real improvement really nice application saves taking every image into photoshop or aperture.
