Nice simple compotion, a very pleasing image, I like the understated feel, almost makes me feel like I'm on holiday.

If you crop out the top part of the clouds so that only about an inch and a half of the dark clouds are showing I think you will find a better picture. Nice shot tho and nicely leveled. Well done and keep up the good work in 2005.

I'm unsure about this one. You seem to have fallen betweentwo subjects, really: a shot that extends from the foreground to the lighthouse, with the suggestion of the dark sky above it, which would concentrate on the tones on the water and the rocks, and a shot of the dark sky looming over the lighthouse. Placing the lighthouse so central in the vertical leaves my eye switching between the two, without ever finding a place to concentrate. I think you could happily have extended the range of the mid-tones here too - the darkness of the sky isn't threatening, and the water has become almost the same tone throughout: it is those areas that give these shots their impact, and a faster exposure, or processing to bring the levels down in those areas would have given much more drama. You've also cropped out, or framed out, the foreground rocks, which would give your image a far greater sense of depth had you included them. It has real potential, this scene, I think, but it is unrealised.

Nice drama in this picture. I think there would be more impact if you cropped the picture so that the horizon line is about a third of the way up from the bottom of the picture. This will bring more focus to the town and the impending storm and remove the unneccessary empty and distracting water space.

This shot is so very dramatic - I love it. The colors are beautiful and so are the clouds. I look forward to seeing you enter some challenges. Good stuff!
