93 Mar 21 Comment This shot make me really miss the west coast! Peaceful indeed (or as peaceful as the Pacific gets).

Regarding your crop, I liked the water lines on the beach. You may want to limit the crop to just remove the rock in the lower-left (or clone it out), and crop some of the top to make the sky less prominent. Also the horizon needs a slight bit of straightening. The house on the left is a little cut-off.

Tone-wise, it seems a little too bright, especially the sky. You may want to try dropping the exposure a little and increasing shadows to bring out the detail in the rocks.

93 Mar 21 Comment Very well executed Paul. Really love the dramatic sky and the different lines, layers, and textures. Excellent choice to turn this into a B&W image. Mar 18th
93 Mar 21 Comment Very nice image. Love the ice and snow on the branches and the fog is perfect. Nice patience. I also like how you cropped it. The hole in the snow in the bottom right is somewhat of a distraction. Personally, I would have just cloned it out.

I have to admit, that other than the cropping I don't see much difference between the finals and the 3 originals. One of the things I find frustrating with the discussion group is the 1 MB limit. I know pixel peeping is often nonproductive, but I always wonder if the lack of sharpness/detail (not applicable to this photo!) I see in some images is due to a problem in the capture/post-processing or a by-product of the image file reduction.

93 Mar 21 Comment I agree that cropping/cloning more of the bottom grass at the bottom would be helpful. You may also want to crop some of the top off as well.

It took me a while to figure out what the orange was. Did you get any shots at 300mm of the plane doing the drops (maybe with a faster shutter speed)?

Also try playing with clarity and dehaze sliders to bring out more details in the mountain.

93 Mar 21 Comment Very nice scene and I like the leading line of the stream. Have you tried cropping off some of the left and bottom to make the grass in the lower left so prominent?

Also I would suggest boosting the contrast.

93 Mar 21 Comment This must be a really old image. I love the lighting and colors, but the noise is pretty distracting. Mar 18th
