[PIC_THREAD] Landscapes, Architecture, Seascapes

I know you didn't ask for feedback so feel free to ignore this!
They both seem to have some kind of ugly colour gradient, the hard transition is very obvious at the bottom of the sky? Use of gradients are fine, but the golden rule is that the effect shouldn't be detectable (unless you really look carefully and realize things like the dynamic range would have been too high).
IMO, Try backing off on the processing and concentrate on getting the photo right in camera, concentrating on things like composition and lighting. Landscape photography is just about the hardest category there is, it is extremely demanding on strong compositional techniques, lighting conditions, subject, location choice, time of day, day of the year, weather and luck. You really have to work at the aesthetics.
 
Thanks DP, I know i didn't ask, but feedback / C&C is always welcomed, good or bad

In all honesty they have been LRd to death and back because of the bad conditions (and original capture) - not an excuse, I shouldn't have taken, let alone kept, processed and posted them

They do (and, again, this is no excuse) look a lot worse exported (or hosted on Flickr ?) than they do in LR, although I fully accept your comments and can see exactly what you are saying, even in LR

I know i have an awful lot to learn both with the camera, photography in general and LR so thanks for the honest feedback, it all helps and is much appreciated - cheers :)

Thanks (and nice shots btw, love the garage :) )

Ive dropped the tint on the grad filters and softened some of the sharpness and clarity in the clouds (still death by LR but I think it is a slight improvement)

Thanks for all the comments :)

It is definitely much nicer now IMO
 
I can't hope to compete with folks on here, but I like how this came out given it's my first time playing with an ND Filter.

It's just a cheap Fotga adjustable one, hence why I went for B&W. It wasn't easy, the bridge I was on was quite bouncy, and there were lots of kids jumping up and down on it!
