    Shot this during a BBQ this weekend.

    I think that there's a small blue overcast on the clouds.
    What do think?

    I quite like this: the foreground, middle and horizon are all interesting. The foreground is what totally capture my attention and the rocks lead me to the horizon. I would clone out the ships/rigs on the horizon to see how it looks as I can't really see what they are but the put bumps on the horizon. Might look better might not. The cloud is interesting too.


    nice work!

    Nicely composed...I too would take out the ships...would make for a cleaner photo IMO.
    Great leading lines here too!

    Looks like a polariser was used here to get that water so clear. Nice.

    Thanks All. I didn't use a polarizer as I didn't have the right size for this lens.
    I agree about the ships. They are bright and don't add anything to the photo.

    Amazing clarity in the water for no polarizer! Nice.

    LOL MA.

    I'm with the rest here - all the magic is in the foreground.
    Even though I like that big fluffy cloud - I might crop it out to see if it makes the image stronger.

    I like the rocks in the foreground and the channel of water through the middle leads your eye with a sense of direction to the horizon.

    Thank you all for your input. I lost a lot of details in the sky. I really need a ND filter.

    What about this one. Post processing landscape is harder than what I was thinking
