Hey Oz,

This is one cool photo, but I can see how DPCPrints might have a hard time with it (in terms of printing), especially if the lower section is oversharpened even a little. I don't mind the noisy sky, but they might. This is a quality photograph. Keep up the good work!

I really like this one, Incredible sense of depth. shame the lighthouse(?) is so dark, but i guess you used a graduated filter

Amazing light on this shot, I love the texture of the wet sand, the sky appears a bit grainy though

Not quite sure about the light in the foreground, seems a bit unnatural. I like how you've included much of the seascape. Great job!

neat. The tower is fuzzy though. I'm not sure if that was intentional.7

i like this composition. the foregrouns is fantastic with that glossy look, but the noise in the sky isn't adding anything to the shot at all.

Looks like flash was used here. Lighting is a bit too harsh.
