    Hey Jay,
    You are starting to get the hang of these things.....I do know compression S**** on landscapes but it appears you have a small halo/lighter area along the ridgeline. I really like the SS you chose for the water....but I wasn't thrilled with the sky...so took this in to PS. Figured I'd give you a bit of a break and show you the crop.....you still need to clean up the ridge glow. Let me know your thoughts.

    I like Roman's crop Jay. I feel a bit more room on the left would have been good so the on-shore water rush was not clipped, but not a deal breaker.

    Hi Bob, I am not sure where you want the room on the left, unless you are referring to the wet sand towards the bottom of the image. I agree with Roman's crop; I am also going to clean up my sloppy PP in trying to remove the tiny halo created by compressing and sharpening. I made it worse; not better. I posted to gain the insights of the experts here and on NS so that I could apply all of the suggestions to an RP. I am here to learn and have no problem posting an image that I know is going to be reworked and RPed.
    Cheers, Jay

    Hi Jay, first off I like the fact you used the waters edge as a leading line taking the viewer back to the mountains. I like Roman's crop since it tightened the image. The softness created by the SS enhanced the water and the one main cloud over the peaks strenghened the composition.. The halo as previously mentioned otherwise nice image!

    Hi Jay

    I like this shot of Wilsons inlet the best of your recently presented. Romans crop or OP not sure, not much in that for me but I do feel like I want to see more of the beach. Did you take a landscape orientated shot at the same place? this might have sacrificed the sky for more beach and water...

    Hi jay....beautiful shot....like your composition . You might consider bringing out the gorgeous ridge glow a bit more and if it were mine I would lighten the surf just a bit to make that line even stronger
