The first 2 are VERY good (are they HDR?). Excellent light and a good mood. I do not like the Ps work on the 3rd one. Too light imo.

Bob, I feel the first image is a little on the dark side, could you lighten and repost?

I guess I over-compensated when re-processing the 3rd one then !
Yes Nimitz they are HDR, just helps to bring some detail out in these high contrast shots.
Nice. Another HDR fan around here. Good to know

No 2 and 3 are fabulous. No 1 looks better I think with sky stretched and panoramic style crop to lose the bench. Much more focus then on sunset colours and silhouette of shoreline.

I have to disagree there, I prefer number one as it is.No 2 and 3 are fabulous. No 1 looks better I think with sky stretched and panoramic style crop to lose the bench. Much more focus then on sunset colours and silhouette of shoreline.

Number two is an absolute cracker though ...

Excellent work indeed. Photo No 2 is very pleasing to the eye to say the least. Colours and composition are spot on.

No. 2 for me, its very artistic. I'm not generally a fan of HDR as many photographers get carried away and produce OTT results but your No.2 is restrained yet goes far enough to achieve the right result.

No. 2 for me as well. It's fantastic. And the 3rd one although looking unnatural is nice - like from a Sci-Fi film

Location was chosen on the fly as time was not on my side.
1st 2 are a little darker than I aimed for as I had PS set to an incorrect profile from some print experiments earlier. Will have to re-process them, but the darkness is growing on me somewhat. 3rd one re-processed as it was way too dark & all detail was lost.
Thoughts and comments good or bad as always appreciated.
Enjoying the show
