Hello everybody!

Hello Matt
Welcome to the forumI really like this shot, the sky is great and the colours work really well.
Good job
thanks a lot PD_BARBS
It was very beautiful day.
len was sigma 10-20 with B+W polariser filter.
This is a lovely pic. of a lovely place. I love the colours esp. the vivid blue in the sky. You achieved good dof with an aperture value of f5.6. The shot would be much better if there was foreground interest e.g a rock, lobster pot, small boat etc. on the beach at the bottom of the pic. Well done. Joe
Nice shot. Think its to over saturated through especially in the sky. Would bring down the saturation a bit and you should have a nice shot

Lovely photo..great colours..mabye a bit over saturated..but
still nice…as Joe said, for the future when taking shots like
this…if you could find some foreground interest it would
really help the composition…even go looking for a piece of
seaweed or anything else interesting that is lying around
and lay it in front..really works.Looks like a beautiful location.
Very good for your first post… I do have a liking for a richly saturated blue sky with white clouds.
Agree with some of the other comments re: foreground interest.
Is it just me… but maybe a little lens distortion on this? Easily enough to fix in PS.

Very good Matrus, I particularly like the way the cloud patterns are mirrored in the sand patterns below. There is a lovely symmetry to this although the cloud bank of the right does unbalance it somewhat.
This is perhaps a tad oversaturated for me. I’m assuming that a polariser was used here? Perhaps a little less rotation might have worked even better but saturation is always a matter of taste.
On the subject of an obvious foreground interest, I’m not convinced this shot needs it. The sand textures are beautifully simple and a sticking in some seaweed or a boulder is just foreground for foregrounds sake. I love wide open shots like this where there are no distracting elements and everything has a purpose.
A super first post.
Thx guys for the comments.
About saturation: I didn’t do nothing with this photo. Saturation is real, believe me guys it was georgous day:)
andy mcinroy, thank you very much for your comment. It’s very nice to hear good words from person who has portfolio like you!!
I’m giving second pics from Brand Bay
sorry guys for my grammar but I’m polish and I’m trying to write the best way I can.

Very nice photos, particularly the first one, the second I don’t think is as clear/sharp.
The sea is really beautiful, and of course the sky.
I think that the issue with the sky in the first is that a polariser has a narrow-ish angle of effectiveness and using it on a lens wider than a 35mm gives an uneven result, but it is a matter of taste.
It is so blue it probably didn’t need a polariser and you could have used the extra light (polariser stops a fair bit of light) to decrease the aperture and sharpen the image. Just a thought.Now that the jury is split on foreground interest, I’m not sure what would be best. I’ll sit on the fence.
Nice work,
Martin
