great colors. wonderful sunsets. are they PP'ed or did you actually manage to keep the water color and brightness without blowing the sky.

the first is my personal favorite, but i like the darker scenes. the second one seems a bit too unreal.

It's probably due to a small tweak in WB (Raw Shooter).
Both shots taken with SIng Ray 3 stop hard NDG and only curves and levels worked before conversion.
I was 15 min late for sunrise and sky was already washed out, but I've stayed anyway (30 min drive to shore) and compensated with contrast...

My favourites are the first two, with #2 being my pick of the bunch because of the processing. I take it that you're enjoying the 17-40? It's my favourite lens too.

I love the lens, it disciplines you with it's small apperture.
24-70 is great lens, but pretty heavy and with 1.6 crop body not giving me a lot of "in your face" effect... It's an awesome indoor portrait glass, but I like 17-40 more (maybe it's a new love?) at least for now...

So these were done with a ND filter? Was it a cokin?

Super nice from a stellar lens _ too bad the jpeg artifacts due the compression.

Thank you everyone for critics and comments.
Now it's my turn...
#1 bad thing - no FG whatsoever
#2 bad thing - CP in full range, sky is too dark
#3 bad thing - I was 15 min late and lost most of the beautiful pre-sunrise colors...

Very nice, indeed. I really think the first two are amazing. The third one seems almost unreal, but interesting. The first sunset is so far away, almost feels like the earth is rotating in slow motion.

I've found this on some of my shots too, quite cool really :)

All of these are beautiful but I really like #1 the best.
