#1 - crop off the left bit - cool clouds tho
#2 - the best of them I reckon - how nice is that water - the horizon feels like it tilts up tho

These are very saleable landscapes. Fine art photography.

Stand clear, Critique COMING :

The first two images are by far the stronger of the set, the last is pretty much a nice grab shot but from a presentation POV, I would suren it.

The first two have some nice curves and suit the panorama format quite nicely, my first and lasting impression was the need for some judicious cropping, as the saying goes, sometimes, less is more. For the first two, try cropping some from the left and right, maybe work with the 16:9 ratio, they both have lots of space in them, which is not a bad thing, however it may well be just a matter of balancing this a bit better with the crops.

The third image, i would not change anything, it's a nice shot, captures the vista, whilst not a mind blowing image, its still very pleasant.

I do wonder how these scenes would work at sunset or sunrise, could be the difference between 'yeah nice pix' and 'holy fukola' :)

Zenith beach...that's the name of that place i was trying to remember :)

good to see some images from the trip away.

Thanks Gerry, I always start off with as much as I can get stitched together, then get some opinions as to how to crop for whopper printing...i am tempted to work on #2 for a big print for home.

Yes that is Zenith beach, I didnt get there for sunrise/sunset though unfortunately. It was a great trip, wish I have more sunrise/sunset opportunities...next time
