My self portrait of sorts just as sunrise hits the horizon and the storm looms large...

Waiting for the Rain


after that it was back to the main pool to try some compositions using the boardwalk and the epic sky which was brewing out over the sea

Lead me to the Light


finally Lee BigStopper time before the storm hit us. I had to bump the ISO a little so we didn't get into stupid exposure time territory - this one (251 sec @ f/11 and ISO 200) looked good straight on the back of the camera

Heaven Whispers


& suggestions always accepted...

e.g. if I was to extend just that closest corner of the boardwalk into the black frame (I've got it - it's just cropped in the 2:1 pano crop) would that be ok, good or too cliche

I like them all, but I think the first one is the winner
of your set.

wow, wow and wow

I love the first....they are all great but the human element in #1 makes it so much stronger

YES! You are on fire!

Thanks Guys

For the second - I've processed the "whole" image the same as I did with the pano crop (plus a little content aware fill to fix the bottom left corner I'd cropped out before as a convenience rather than fixing it properly - I knew it wasn't ideal chopping off the bottom right corner of the boardwalk so I guess I was waiting for someone to call me on it )

Thoughts - everyone? - would people still crop out some of the sky to a 16:9 or 2:1 ratio?
