i like no.2, nice composition and pleasing to the eye

Both great shots. Love the sky / silhouette in number 1. Number two is a good shot as well but a little to green for me... however thats just personal preference

Does this look better?

Nitrojan · 11 Feb 2008 at 21:11

Thats much better.. At first sight I also thought it was too green.. Now I can see some blue peeping through..

Nice shots!

Beautiful shots, especially the edited version of the second one

Nice shots funkyphantom!

Nice colours in the sunset, but thats about it.

The second one is too green. The edited second version is nice, but to me it needs a slight rotation clockwise as the waterfall appears squint.

Lovely sunset. As above, I think the second way of processing no.2 is much better, personally.

I like contre jour, and with a wonderful backdrop like u have with the warm colours and sun it seems a shame to have so little to nibble on apart from the church spire and the distant treeline. . . .

1st Shot is good, but looks better if you take the sun out, crop it to the right so you cant see the sun and a 3rd of the sky and it looks great.

2nd shot i like, have you tried it in black and white?

overall very good shots and easy on the eye, well done mate..

arrggg, what a **** up, how do i delete those other posts?? lol

Irish_Tom · 12 Feb 2008 at 14:54

I'm sure a passing mod can do it for you.

I think the second version of the sunset and the mono conversion to the waterfall both improve on the original by at least 100%.

Not to be too harsh on the originals you posted because they are decent enough shots, but the edits you've made make them real stunners.

For me the original (and second edit for that matter) of the waterfall shot was just too saturated, it was burning my retinas. However the B&W version is much better.

The other shot of the sunset with the sun out of shot and the silhouettes of the tree branches really works for me nice one.
