I was down at the inlaws at Kiama last weekend and went for a real short wander in the drizzle (paranoid about getting the 400D wet cos it seems so fragile),

Anyway had to brighten this one up a tad in PP, maybe I overcooked it??

What do you think?

Wow Robert, I love the moody feeling to this, the churning water, the spray the clouds! Personally I don't think you've overcooked the PP, I like where you've taken the shot.

Nice seascape. It has lots of soul! I think the PP is just about right.

Great shot! Without knowing exactly what the conditions were, and what PP you've done, the sky and the background don't quite 'match' though - should the sky be more green-ish?

I like the PP on this - the counterpoint between the gloomy sky and the well lit emerald water work really well
