Flowers & the sea

Had real trouble opening these Adrian, but I did manage to see the low angle shot of the wave crashing on the pebbles. Very nice with strong, rich colours.
Live-view with one of those screens which can be pulled out and angled upwards would make a real difference to my photography, I know. I'd rather Pentax made a camera with that feature rather than video which I bet hardly anyone uses!

I like both of the sea shots, of the two flower shots I prefer the second one but.........
.....It is a bit tight on the right-hand side, if you had more room you could try a square crop?

The two shots at the sea are very good. Great capture of the spray, only to be spoiled by the heavily leaning horizon.
Best regards

Thanks all
Andrew, I think that you're correct with regards to the video capabilities. Guess how many times I've used it on the Kx, yes a big fat zero
I agree with the horizon, and I was quite conscious of the fact when I was taking the pictures (sat on a boulder being shaken by the wind..).
Some came out better then others, I reckon these two are slightly more level (BTW how do you fix the horizon?).
Whilst live view was handy, what I forgot to mention was that in bright sunshine the screen was a bit difficult to view, as was the case with the white flower (not making excuses here BTW ).

Adrian what software do you use?
PSE has a straighten tool, you can also straighten in Adobe Raw Converter or you can use the crop tool and rotate it to straighten.

Picasa has a straighten adjustment in its basic fixes.
Lurking is shirking.!

Thanks, I mostly use Lightroom, although I've now taken a second look at Picasa. The straightening tool does indeed seem quite handy
Cheers
