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.

There was plenty of drizzle, so my images will have my now trademark water on filter look.

Just before daybreak

Straight out of camera, I cant think of how to approach this image, is there anything I can do to fix it?

Some big stopper action

The swell provided some entertainment

nice stuff cameron, you have been rewarded with braving the rain as the sun poked up outta the horizon, a little cloneage on those raindrops and it will be all good.

hit with a touch of d-lighting just to take the edge off the shadows on the rocks. I love that sunlight reflecting off the water in the FG.

lol, i did not get wet feet! with this image I think you need to revisit it. BW is doing very little for me. It was a very minimalist scene there and I think you need to concentrate on accentuating the water movement as the image anchor point.

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

Thanks Gerry.

I am having a play with the two images as mentioned....D-lighting has promise, I will have to continue playing to find the right selective D-Lighting application to make it work for me. As for the last image....any suggestions? If you have something in mind please post, as it has stumped me. I really dont like the colour version though.
