A day at the beach

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.

A good beach collection

Looks pretty windy though - the beach chairs show that

My favourite is the wide angle sand, surf and people shot. A frozen moment in time.

Thanks

Nice shots. Like the chairs series. Did you use a polarising filter for sky in 4394?

Thanx y'all for the feed back.

Yes, I did.

And all shot with the 24-120 VR of course.

How ya finding the lens Gary? Compared to the 18-70... Miss the wide angle much? Or the 2/3 stop at the tele end? I'm thinking of the 24-120 too. VR is sexy. :)

It's almost becomne a permanent fixture on my camera; I love it.

I could have done with a bit more at the wide end this afternoon, but nothing critical was missed.

And no, I don't miss that 2/3 stop at all; the VR more than compensates; you saw my post with the 1/2 sec handheld image from a week or so back? :)

No Birdy, I don't think I'll be back there anytime soon. Although I have made a habit of going to the US annually beginning '03, so this time next year maybe?! Why?
