Behind clouds - missed sunrises

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.

Behind clouds - missed sunrises

I thought I should put something up. Here are some images taken with the Sony A65V and the Olympus EP3 at McMahon's Pool on a wet and cloudy day where I actually woke up in a vain attempt for sunrise.

Note to Gerry - keep me well clear of your attempts, I think I am BYO-ing too much cloud lately

The last image works best for me. It has a powerful, dream like quality which is helped by the amazing colours.

I agree with Matt. I think the last image has more colour and works better than the other two.

I think the last image is good, but I really like the tones of the B&W.

All three are good but yes, the last is excellent.

So it's Gerry to blame for clouds and rain?

haha, cloud is good, just not too much! :)

I like the LE here, the last is quite good and clever use of the pool light too :) This is great location, did you go up past the pool to the cauldron?
