We popped down to Kimmerage Bay with a couple of friends for a dog walk yesterday. Please critique a couple of shots I got....(these may look too dark on your screens, mine is overly bright it seems)

Shot with 450d, Sigma WA. Processed in PS7 with some levels adjustments and USM.

Again, sorry if these look very dark (they usually do on other screens) - I still haven't calibrated my monitor.

Critisism welcome!

These are very very nice. The biggest problem with them I can see is the horizons don't look horizontal in the first two.

You're quite right, you noticed my 'delibrate mistake', well done :lol:

Thought it looked a bit odd. I'll fix it when I get home from work, thanks!

Agreed. Second photo is a winner. Third's not bad either. Not so keen on the first, I don't like the perspective distortion caused by the UWA in that one.

Just fantastic perspectives and processing.

First and second do it for me. I love the perspective and the strong sense of movement that is created in these. Bravo! Was expecting something completely different. :)

I'm practically in love with UWA and landscapes, so I'm digin' all of these.

My main thought is for the second two; to me the horizon is just too centered in the frame. Move it up or down to emphasize either the sky or water (respectively).
