Hi, this is my first Image for Critique and apart from a few images on Flickr one of the first anyone has seen. Please be as critical as you feel is needed as it will all be taken on board. The image was taken on a Canon 450D with the 17-85mm lens, using a tripod and Cokin filters. Work was done in Lightroom 2 and a trial version of Photoshop CS4

Thanks

Nice, interesting shot. Those dark clouds at the top may be a little too dark. That might be a nitpick though.

I love it, I don't think it's over processed at all!

nice shot, can we see the original?

If you didn't say it's processed, I wouldn't have thought it was processed at all. So no, not over-processed.

I like the image, has lots of fine detail. Think I would be tempted to crop the dark cloud almos out of the image.

I really like the way it looks! The clouds are on a darkish side but I still like it very much!

I'd love to know what steps you took to achieve this effect. The photo seems to look even sharper than in the original.

I love the colors in this. My eye first went to the dark clouds, then the boat. I would tone down the clouds some so the boat catches the eye more. Cool shot.
