Shots from the beach / one random one :)

Shot these a few days ago on the beach as part of a photography class final (high school). How'd they look? (obviously the first one is the one NOT at the beach )

I really like #3 and #4.

#1. I feel a shallower depth of field would've been nice, as well as a slight darkening (very slight).
#2. Very underexposed, the color of the land would've made it really pop.
#3. Contrast feels a little off.
#4. A little cool for my taste, perhaps a warming filter?

Just my untrained thoughts.

just fyi, i purposely exposed for the sky to make the tree a silhouette .. the ground went along with it haha

and how's this?

Hmm, I'm having a hard time deciding. I like the lightened colors, but some of the contrast was also lost.

Here's another one. Some of the sky is blown out, though.

Hmm. What filter did you use on this (if any)? Polarizing?

The above I added a warming filter. Here's the original, UNEDITED.

I apologize, but you didn't specify if your works are or aren't ok to edit. So, if you don't allow it, I'll pull it down, but here are my thoughts.

nice, i like it! what filter did you put on it?

also what did you mean by "contrast feels off?"

There are several filters and adjustments made, but not too much.

As for contrast, I meant nothing really stands out. The b&w conversion could have been a little better to help give it more depth.

If you'd like the PSD, I have it saved.
