Hi all,

My first-ever post wasn't successful so still trying to figure this out but here goes another try... Will only post a couple of shots to make sure it works correctly - hopefully it does so I can share more in the future....

Let me know what you think....

    Hi and welcome to dgrin. Guess you figured out the posting business. #2 has a lot of potential (although it is quite nice as is. If it is a crop I'd suggest not including so much of the dead space at the bottom (eliminate about 2/3 of it) thereby showing more sky. also I'd show more on the left side and less on the right. Both these changes would allow for conformance with "the rule of thirds" and make for a stunning shot.(It would also eliminate all noise at the bottom).

    In the first one, I would straighten up the horizon. It's a bit crooked. In the second shot, I would trim the bottom "sand dunes" in half and crop some of the right side so the post is not smack dead center.

    like'em both......in #2 I would like a bit more definition in the bottom of the pic....I see what looks like bushes or grass and then the sand, fence and pole......if the contrast one the very bottom was upped a bit that would maybe bring out a touch more definition in that section.........
