The Twelve Apostles - As Dawn Breaks

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.

Nice soft light.

that image has potential, i think you need a bit of PP to bring out its best...

Also, compositionally, i reckon you need a bit more room on the right hand side...ie get some more of that beach in rather than the empty sea on the left...

anyway, here's what i reckon a bit of PP could do for ya image...

also read the pink bit on your screen :up: :up:

No amount of processing will fix bad composition - trust me i have tried.

both totally different but both have special elements ,
I like the moodiness in the first especially the blue with hint of pink and the silky water , the second shows the lovely colors of the rock as it would appear sun up
perhaps a HDR to combine the two , or a series shot through out the day to show the changing colors (sunrise day and sunset )

I really like the first, a bit dark, a bit blue but very special. Sorry Gerry I feel that your rework has pushed the image a bit too far.

I agree that the first is underexposed.

If I may suggest, a longer shutter and a smaller aperture for maximum sharpness and DOF.
