There will be more to come over time

C&C always welcome!

I like the first but I reckon you could crop the bottom (just below the dark patch of water) as that really bright patch on the water really draws my eye down there - the rest of the image is beautiful.

I really like #2 - my favourite - not sure why - it's likely the composition and the distortion you've got with the wide? lens.

In #3 I'm torn - I'm not sure I like that bright blue canopy but it does add a big splash of colour to an otherwise monochromey image. But for me I reckon it could probably be selectively desaturated and let the splash of colour be the main subject.

I like the first and last one. I think they are
very well taken.

It's funny how you don't see things until they are pointed out to you. I also agree with your thoughts on the crop for #1

With image number 3 I had already tried de-saturating the blue tarp, but for some reason I preferred it as it is.

Thanks for your thoughts

Nathan

I might make the cropping to the top of the dark patch of water as it then makes the little shelter at the end of the “pier” and the line it makes with the reflected light the focus.

But to each his own, lovely image
