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.

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.

Clovelly - Four seasons

Clovelly is a great little spot for a sunrise, easy to get to, great waves and at times a great sunrise. It was a great to hook up with Suren and Cameron.

A few quickly edited images from the morning, suggestions for improvement, different perspectives or PP options welcome.

yep, it was dark at 5am in the morning...pretty cold too..

Image

but then teh sun came out a bit to play..

Image

then some serious fog rolled on in...no more sunrise :shock:

Image

but Maroubra pool was where it was at and back to sunshine...almost..

Yep! :cheers:

#2 is the pick of the bunch with great composition, light and interest in the fore and middle grounds.

#3 looks like it's out of middle earth or something..! :cheers:

#4 has too much 'non interesting' space for it to be strong on it's own. Was it done with the 10 stopper?

#2 it is :up: I took quite a few similiar to this, basically a variationon a theme, all trying to get that channel to link the foreground to the sky and oeprate as a leading line for the scene.

lol, yeah that was worth almost getting nailed by that wave. I love that seaweed.

#4 has too much 'non interesting' space for it to be strong on it's own. Was it done with the 10 stopper?


I agree something else would definitely add to the image, but am not sure waht, maybe a model to give it a sense of scale?

yeah this was my special 10stopper, the one that is actually 5 or 6 stops :rotfl2: polarizer and ND8 :up:

I am keen to go again, so if your down again and keen we should do it all again...on that note u should have seen teh sunrise this morning :shock:
