Hi Bev
sublime tones, well handled exposures from the sun, very moody and quite mysterious. Love the water flowing in and nice frame.
Regards

Beautiful light here
The shot is crisp, the detail is first rate, skin-tones look spot on.
Well done

Well handled light David
Super colours and the black on the white from the road does not harm this shot whatsoever.

Hi Rew
I hope you don't mind, i am going to upload a workshop for you. As mentioned, she looks very beautiful, although in my opinion, the cheekbones look heavy and slightly detract from her sparkling eyes. Is this just due to the reflector? Im not sure, as you know, I have very little experience in lighting or studio so it would be good to know what you think (or maybe its slightly overdone on the make up). I would like to see maybe her hair drape the neck instead of a scarf, as her hair look very shiny but the as the black really sets of the face. Only my two cents worth, also I just added +4 hue in the red channel in the hue and sat (looks a tad warm warm but that could be my monitor).

Hope you don't mind, it would be good to know how you would even out the cheekbones in studio (without resorting to photoshop).

Cheers
Jim

A very very excellent gallery, keep it up. I love the orange hues in this one and I see how the cloud nearly seem to mirror rushing water. Excellent technical note, very useful indeed.

Hello Francis
I like the refection of the buildings, which then get abruptly stopped by the colourful boat. Superb colours and contrasts in this one.
Well done
Jim

Hello JJ
Superb light, the cropping looks perfect too, great use of the path to lead the ey through the image. Simple yet beautiful.

Hello John
Very difficult shot under these light circumstances with the harsh shadows that occur, the blues and yellows contrast very well, the vista looks beautiful as are the mountain ranges in the bg.

Hi David
Another great Aussie skyline, top blue hour contrasting with the golden light on buildings. The reflections are equally stunning.
Well done

The stitch looks perfect here, top light and rolling waves coming in from the Tasman.
Colours, light and compo first rate here.
