Shrimp Boats

Updated with tone-mapping:

Nice shots. The 1st one looks over sharpened, otherwise outstanding. Where's Forrest?

Nice work, I think they both look great.

Thanks for the feedback guys - I was worried it was abit under exposed but I guess not. Another one of the bridge w/o the boat

That sun is bangin'

The saturation in the first one's fine but it's just that the darkness and the over-sharpening kills it for me.
I like the second one though.

Here's a slightly different rendition and thank you for letting me share in your work.

thanks again jet - that one looks like a keeper

the issue with the PP you did on the first photo is the white outline around the birds. it really bothers me. there is some noise around the sun on the clouds too that could be reduced a little. i would saturate a little more than the original, but not as much as the first photo.

second photo is flawless. apart from breaking the rule of thirds, which i love.

yeah that is the issue i see. thanks, now i know the word for it.

The redo is outstanding and I like what jetcode did. This photograph is a wall hanger.

The first doesn't have the foreground light to match the sun especially with it still being so high above the horizon and clear of cloud, where as the second one is missing the big orange shiny thing.
