Processed these a little different to normal.
My partner and I are fortunate to live so close to this beautiful beach (and Xena filming location)

Good ones, Warren. I especially like the fourth. I've noticed this, too. Shame that folks are so reluctant to comment. No idea why, as I'm sure they like getting comments on their work.

a beautiful set and location, nice drama in the sky and the sea, wonderful clouds on that evening !! Your processing is a "touch" on the heavy side which doesnt bother me, I tend to like it somewhat heavy too, nice work !!

All great, but I love #2 and #4!

I like the composition of #1 but the darkening is a bit too much for my taste, it's got a bit of a sci-fi look to it to my eyes.

Thanks everyone, really appreciate your kind words and honesty. Now I've looked back on some of these since shooting, and can see the processing definitely beyond my normal style, but it's good to try new things. :)

I used GND on every shot. 0.9 soft edge on most, and a couple also with 0.6 hard edge
