Tom i duno what you did but i fixed your images so they show up... Some nice pictures there mate!

I really like the first one and the third to last image, maybe in the first one just crop out a bit of the bottom of the picture?

Good to see you experimenting with various view points and stuff, although I felt a bit dizzy looking at all the different angles in your photos!

The second to bottom is the strongest I recon, good viewpoint, might work well in BnW too as the colours are naturally fairly desaturated. Could do with a minimal horizon straighten too IMHO.

i like the way the water is washing over the stones in number 3, very nice pics

the first photo is the best one but the actual photo is in the middle there, from tree to island. try some crops to see what you can turn it into

Cheers dav. Thanks heaps guys will def take this feedback onboard, yea I have been going abit crazy with the angles the fisheye does that to you...
I agree about the colours also, it was a very netural couple of days not really much sunlight all. I find harsh sunlight a real issue with the lens I use, which is why I think some of these came out prity good.
Cheers again guys

if you have your tripod with you, it might be worth taking three different exposures, i think your camera should have that option as my one has it. Then you can merge the three images togethar to make a High dynamic range photo

pic 7 & 8 would look awesome HDR'ed and photshopped..

The first one is the pic of the bunch for me, I'd be tempted to give it a very slight crop personally. But beautifully tranquil and almost monotone, the image just screams.... errr, I mean whispers relaxation to me. :)

2,3 and 8, I saw a lovely crop just scrolling down on those 3 and 1 looks good as is.
Well done

[Fabolous]

the one with the wave breaking (7, 8?) is awesome man, nice!! ... number your pics :P

thanks guys will have a look at cropping, the lens i used is super wide fixed. will crop out unneeded detail.
Cheers tom
