Coastal landscapes (III) panos and other

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.

I like the first frame Willy – the composition puts the viewer right on the edge! Perhaps a different time of day/lighting would give a greater level of impact on this one. 2nd pic is a nicely cropped panorama. 3 seems to be lacking something for me – perhaps a crop similar to 2 would give it a bit more oomph. The contrasting light in the 4th pic is a little distracting & disappears some of the detail I feel.

Great location though – where is it ? Good one on getting ‘out there’ !

Cheers,

Pete

#1Tricky light on these methinks. The first one is nice but needs two exposures, one for the dark shady areas and one for the sky. This shot is inbetween, blown sky, and underexposed foreground. To be perfectly honest, I don't know how to do it, but it's done in layers.

#3 has a little bit of foreground in the front that is chopped in half. I'd probably include more of it, or get rid of it all together.

#4 has tough light that simply won't allow you to take it well, which is too bad because there is an interesting design in that rock.
