Some ripples in the Sand

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

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.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Please stop posting such marvellous images - I'm getting camera lust. In strong company #3 is the weakest here. I really like your treatment too - a very productive morning by the look of it.

Number one for me. nice refections in the foreground and great clouds in the distance.

These are the types of photos (along with the other landscapes that you have posted today) that I would love to be able to capture one day. Beautiful, thanks for sharing them.

Can I ask what lens you are using for these with the D3?

Thanks, just another reason for me to drool over this lens then.

It's a very close call between 1 & 2 for me! Both look awesome.

After a minute of viewing, I will go with #2.

I cropped #2 and #3 a little at the bottom.
Surprisingly the 16" x 24" print of #1 had least impact.
Order of appeal in print is #2 then #3 then #1
Just shows print and web are two different beasts.
I will therefor be trying to refine my interperative skills.

I do appreciate all your feedback and this was an interesting experiment for me

I agree with Stubbsy Bob, your images have been fantastic of late. These are gorgeous. A small niggle, in the border of the last you have written "fron" instead of "from".

Getting up at 4.30 am then processing a bunch of pics for several hours can play havoc with one's spelling ability. :lol:
