pics from a day out

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.

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.

No 4 and the horizon is level too well done but there is something at the top right side. I like how you added space and the BW suits it.
I don't mind 1 but in my mind it's blends into the background a bit to much but it's a interesting tree, for that is why I like it.

Hi Matt - I love #1 (love tree's like that) and I like how it eventually merges at the fringy edges - very nice
Interesting perspective in #3 - almost has a soft focus feel to it as well - I get a nice feeling from this

Does that leave any???

Matt... #1: it's a little hard to be sure at this size but I'm wondering if a touch more contrast might add value to really make the tree glow (again at full size it might over do things so I could well be wrong).

All but #3 are winners in my view... not that #3 is bad... just doesn't grab my attention.
Photography is not a crime, but perhaps my abuse of artistic license is?

I quite like #3. It keeps my attention. Maybe its the look on the second dog being out of place.
last I like but for a boat prefer more fill and dramatic angle
