What no clouds???

I love the colours and motion you have captured in this set.

It was a very ordinary sky today. In fact we have been a little unlucky since Long reef. Better luck next week.

#1 interesting crop with the this. I think you could even crop a little more on top and bottom to focus the viewer onto that wave and rock.

Love the sheen and the compo in #2. I reckon you could pull that grad slightly up though.

How about that shot you took with the pool towards the end?

Good color, excellent capture of light.. I also like the composure.

I think you have done a great job...

Shame you and Suren went to the wrong location
#1 and 3 are the pick of these for me but bit curious as to the object in the middle of the frame that attracts my eye. Doesnt look like Suren. Perhaps you might consider cloning it out.
Water movement really makes the shots and add lots of interest although I prefer the framing and composition in 1.
#2 does nothing for me I'm afraid.

Anything to show from where you went to???

Number 1. I like the colours, crop, and composition.

yeah, skippy lied to me, gonna send some peeps around to his house this week.

yeah, tried to mix up the composition a bit here, I have quite a stock of half decent images of this position so I thought a different crop might go well.

good call, I get slack with the position of the grads, its often only once its on the bit scren do you notice those slightly off numbers!

who said the wrong location, maybe we had the right one?

thats Suren, drying himself off after a big set.

yeah water movement is probably one of teh key parts of my compositions when I have little in the sky to work with.

#2 does nothing for me I'm afraid.

fair call

They're all good but nos 1&4 are fantastic. What time of day was this Gerry?

Edit: Sorry just read the other post and found it was a sunrise shoot. Der. Here I am sitting next to the beach in Adelaide where the sun sets over the water.

I love sunrises...one day I'm going to get up and see one.

That sounds nice, better than a bunch of smelly mountains that we got here in sydney.

I think I might start living vicariously through others on these sunrises now, the early morning really hurts about 4pm..need a nanna nap I think

[gstark]

Good job. I think it's OK that there are no clouds; i might have distracted us from the composition of the rocks and the waves.

Hey Gerry, the last two are pretty well executed from a color point of view. I can now see where you are done selective warmth.

That tonal contrast really pops those greens. Did you any extra greens??
Did you use the grads for these??

Warmth added globally, both shots are HDR and taken with teh GND in place. The tonal contrast can really help to bring out detail in parts of an image, used correctly I reckon its a pretty powerful tool, the same effect can be created with a number of steps in CNX2 but the tonal contrast option is quicker and easier.

No extra colours added, only global saturation from memory.

I really wanted to get more detail in the stuff under the water - should have popped on the CPL - next time.

What she? I think most female photographers are out there taking pictures rather than yakking in forums. The rest don't know the first thing about aperture but still make great images...

Thanks for the editing info Gerry. It's not easy to guess.
