and from this morning...

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.

and from this morning...

Thanh....Stubbsy can take these in the mid day/high noon sun too as long as he has his 20 stop NASA Shuttle grade ND Filter :twisted:

Stubbsy did well with his afternoon/Sunset shoot yesterday, same type of light...just a touch more difficult for me :evil: We all have our preferences....beaches are empty in the sunrise which is good for me in finding comps 8)

Good composition, my eye goes straight to the foreground rock before taking in that fantastic sky... Nice color and tones too...

The beach is a great place early in the morning...

Is this a competition between you and stubbsy for best seascape at the moment'?

You know I enjoy your pics Paul, the softness that you produce makes for very pleasant viewing.

This one though isn't one of your best (i think you know that), although i absolutely love the sky. The foreground isn't up to the dominant sky though imho.

Competition? What competition! Rare to see me up before the sun.

Nice pic Paul, but as Leon says, you've done better.

Paul looks like you went to one of my favorite beaches
Turrimetta beach

Image

this was taken about 4 days after I got my D200 and as I'm still learning how to use it now my level of competency then was no where near yours and it shows in this shot... I must get back there and do better

every shot I have seen from this beach is different as in no 2 shots are ever the same there.... no ducks here Birddy :)

Keith, it's a beautiful and very picturesque beach :!: That rock you captured seems to be very popular as is the beach for photographer's.

Maybe we will bump into each other early one morning :wink:

Yes I have :!: I was getting irritated taking this (not at least I have the flu too :evil: ) as I just couldn't get detail from the rock because of the constantly pounding waves. Very frustrating :evil:

Should have gone back for a sunset shot today :idea:

Hi Paul
I like the image - great colour and composition.
But is it a bit soft? I couldn't get EXIF, and I'm wondering about shutter speed.
