I think the first one is too busy. The second one is way over-processed for my tastes.

Yes, first one appears a bit crowded; yet some element attracts me; but why, sir, you kept that dark element in that corner, i just can't understand

Yes, the second image is over pprocessed, but i think that was deliberate to give an otherworldly look

Yeah I know the second is over the top. That's what I like about it.

I just noticed the shadow in the top right. I had to use my hand to shade the lens. Thanks for pointing that out. The real problem with this photo is the tree to the right. Unfortunately I ran out of memory so I couldn't shoot another one. I'm going back there this Saturday, I hope i have a good sky.

It looks like a neat place to shoot. I would be tempted to get closer to the water and do some reflections....but that's just me. :mrgreen:

I was shooting these from an elevated freeway. I went back yesterday hoping to catch a good sunset. It was too cloudy though. I got some nice shots but it was so dark I had to bump up my ISO and wound up with a lot of noise.

Very nice shots; very colourful place; did you shave the sky with a bright patch in the third?

I'm not sure what you mean by shave but I didn't do anything special. That's just the way it looked.

I really like the third one in your second post. Well done!

i mean i see a plane patch in the sky as if a bearded man drew his razor one time down

Those look like egrets to me. If so, they're here in Minnesota during the summer. I see them all the time on bike rides. My favorite bird. Nice photos.
