Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

I've had enough... *nods*... all this rain.. and if its not raining its windy and stuff..

I know.. I know.. we need it for the dams... *sigh*..

I managed to make it to the beach after work the other day for a few minutes.. the rain kinda stopped for a bit but as you can see by the 'sand haze' it sure was windy..

#2 is a jaw dropper! Fantastic shot, I like everything about it, except the other person in the waves. But other than that its 99.9% fantastical! :D
C&C more than welcome!

Well not hugely long.... I used the 18-200 very probably on the 200.. but its probably the erosion from the storms that confused you... I certainly got a shock when I arrived and saw it myself.. :)

Great stuff Sue. Kitesurfer is the killer shot. I think Teela said it all, regarding your use of time... :lol:

Great photos!

Number 2 is a pick, but #3 is pretty close, it looks a little like in Hawaii? Don't you think?

Seems to me that the rain is doing your photography no harm at all. A cloud or two in the sky always adds a little interest.
Photography is not a crime, but perhaps my abuse of artistic license is?

#1 and #2 are the picks for me.

I love the element of the sand-haze in the first one, add something almost myztical to it.

The second is just great, colours, action, composition - all spot on.

Nice work. PS. The rain is starting to piss me off as well, and I've only been back in the country for 12 hours, and I'm not even in QLD! :lol: :ot: <- my Sony :p

I love number 2 and 3. The colours are amazing and the capture yet another grumpy Australian summer.
