I dont like to swear but those are f**king awesome. Man they look straight out of getty images.
Totally cool.
Was there much PP?
They are just right to me, and I love them. I would kill for something like that

Nice one

I love these. The sky really shines. It is difficult to relay what the sky is doing on the picture from reality. You've done it really well, and I'd have to say, they look right professional.

CPL = Circular Polarizing Filter which has saturated the colors, especially the skies.

Magnificent. That polariser really makes those pics launch themselves out of the screen. Great images. I hope you are justifiably pround of them

These are just stunning! I love everything about them. Colour, composition, and the clouds are magnificent! I'd be putting #2 on the wall!

HEY GUYS!
thanks for the feedback!

My fav would be #1

PP was minimal for #1, but the others mostly included USM, Dodging & Burning, Levels, and Shadows and Highlights. I may post an original scan of one image so you can see the difference - I nearly wrote some of them off!

I loved twisting the CPL and watching the clouds jump out from the lake!
