thanks. #2, its the sun, what can i say. if i exposed less the sky lost detail so i just left it like it was, guess i couldve bracketed though. #3 was a long SS using a ND filter to accomplish it. #4 is a product of PP, kinda the look i was going for, not quite that blown out but didnt pay much attn to it, i may tone it down. thanks for the CC

All nice shots!

I can see even more potential on the timber as a subject alone, with the angle as in #3 with a 30-1min exposure when it gets darker.
To really smooth out the ocean
Just my 2 cents.

Very cool effect on the above. Gonna have to try this one myself when I get a chance.

All of these were great but #4 really kicks my a$$. What kind of PP did you do to achieve this look?

Ye I know what you mean with the clouds, I did a 1:20 and it was awful. Im thinking of taking another shot exposed for the sky and blending.

diggin number 3. I think 4 would be cooler if you brought down the highlights just a hair....it would keep the same effect...just not as bright.

I'd show ya how I see it in my head, but your'e set to "not ok to edit".

nice captures!

1: I like it, but just doesn't wow me
2: I really like!
3: Wonderful capture (i like the second edit you did for this as well, even though the clouds were moving on ya)
4: I like as well, but as its been said, it seems a little blown out on the shore line.

thanks! its fun, give it a shot.

thanks. i started playing with the color version first doing the typical things to make it pop, then i figured wth, i added a duplicate layer, sepia tone, played with blending, then added a levels layer and boosted the contrast a little. i need to back off the highlights a little as mentioned, but that was the jist of it.
