Yep, super work. The use of the filter here was very clever. Really nice image.

Well done. I like the time it takes to discover what is in the scene.

Got away to the coast on the weekend, second time out! I got some miles in hiking with the Horseman in the backpack and I'm very happy with it.
I think I should have put the polariser on here, but still, happy with it as a start to colour. The spot is totally magnificent.
Any feedback would be great! I tried to get the camera up as high as I could and used about 20mm of front standard drop to get more of the rocks into view. I think I under-did the tilt, too, with only about 5deg on. My loupe flares at the base so I can't see the edges... maybe next purchase!

Another one from the weekend. I like the colours and am pretty happy with the composition. I'd be keen to hear whether you would have exposed a bit longer here for the rocks? I was thinking the sky would lose saturation if I did that?
Wind was smashing it through, and my towel-as-dark-cloth was a bit of a pain. I might try to sew one up with some heavy stuff in the edges. My drying and scanning routine is quite dirty, still... but I dont really have a plan of attack for that one.

The location has two quarries separated by a wall, in which there are two arches. The further quarry is filled with water. One shot was of the two arches (and I asked two strangers to pose for me), but the wall above the arches went above the top of the frame. The second shot was from inside the LH arch looking across the water - and I forgot to reverse the dark slide. You can see the trees inside the RH arch repeated on the 'land bridge'!

On my screen the exposure looks very pleasing the way it is, John. Gorgeous!
...Dilettante! Who you calling a Dilettante?
Nice image, well done. I think the composition is good, and the camera height is appropriate to give good separation of fore-, mid- and background. I also like how the arch frames a section of the misted sea, rocks and sky. I do have a couple of suggestions though:
The rocks in the lower left quadrant are quite dark and thus a little unbalanced tonally with the rest of the image IMO. Some selective dodging there would help make a more cohesive whole I think. Also that same patch of rocks appears to have a bit of a blue-purple cast which could be corrected with a masked curves layer. Finally I can't help noticing the odd pink-purple patch in the upper left corner (due to uneven processing maybe?), which is also quite distracting; I would clone this out.
