Hi Andrew, I like the three shots especially the first, lovely golden light.If I was to change anything I would include more of the sky as it has great detail in the clouds and it would improve the rule of thirds.Also I would straighten the horizon as it a little down on the left side.But still a lovely shot.

There is a saying in landsacpe potography that goes something link a nice view does not always lead to a good photo.

With that in mind shot 3 for instance all I get is a sense that it was taken a couple of miles short of where it should have been as I actually want to see the hills in the distance. This shot also needs warmed up and some cotrast added. Taking it from the path and using it to llead you into the shot may also have helped.

Shot really needs something to lead you into or some foreground interest but is oK but I would crop it off just where the natural line in the grass turns green only.

I would crop off the out of focus section of the first shot.

Nice shots, looks like the weekend we all could use.
The first shot is very striking I personally agree that the composition would be more pleasing if it was less centered.
Number two also is a very pleasing landscape, and I like it a lot. Once again if less centered or cropped just slightly to one side (either) would please my eye more, and as long as I ripping you apart (lol), I would try cropping up to the shade line in the foreground.
The third image is a great panorama it is just a little cool as the lighting wasn't working in your favor.
I also agree that using the road to bring the viewer to the scene might be better composition
All in all gook work

Many thanks for the replies
need to look at the crop more on pictures to find the better looking crop and at site when taking the picture
i think on reflection the 3rd pic isnt that great so it will just sit in the hoilday snap folder

re croped the other 2 and do think they look a lot better many thanks





many thanks agin to all who Critiqued on these pics

I really like the first shot best & I think cropping it as in the second version actually destroys what is a very pleasing image, the balance between sky & sea seems just right for me, you did well not to massively burn out the shot & the colours are great.
But please straighten the horizon, it slopes down to the left.

Dam Thanks Cathus all sorted now really need to get in the habit of bining changed pics

[Cathus]

Oh, and the second shot is very pleasing as well, nice colours & tonal range, though I'd be tempted to crop out the shaddow area at the very bottom. (not as fierce a crop as your second version)

The third shot doesn;t really have any foreground interest, though you could jazz it up a little by boosting the tonal range/contrast & colours

The revised field shot seems too far cropped now - I think the original suggestion of just cropping out the shadow was sound and would sugest opening the crop out a bit more
