It's great to get some feedback. Thanks for all the comments everyone.

Stephen,

Based on the 'rules', I've been told there is usually no reason to show something that does not add to the image. In this case more sky would be sky that you could guess what it looks like without needing to see. Sky is just sky. Other 'rules' applied (or at least attempted) would be 'rule of thirds' - no horizon right across the middle, and leading lines. Of course, rules are really suggestions and I'm trying to apply them as best I can.

Thanks

Stephen,

Yes it's actually purple. The cliffs on the beach contain manganese garnet minerals that wash down on the beach. The color was exaggerated early in the morning with the cool light. During the night there had been a high tide that washed away all the foot prints, making it easier to see the purple. Thanks for the interest.

This site describes it better.

Kani,

I have a question. I've tried shots in the sand / waves before and my tripod always wants to continually settle in the sand as the waves come and go. How do you stabilize your tripod? Thanks

Trisha, you have some really nice shots. I posted on my favorite. Well done.

Great image.

morning rain.

Great capture and processing of a popular subject. Well done.

Any comments would be appreciated. Thank you.

Well done.

Nice shot Peter. I really like the extremes of IR - black skies, puffy clouds, etc. Often I end up going back to the same location to refine the shot because it looks so different after processing than when I was actually shooting. Great work, keep it up.

Well done. Great portfolio.

Sondra, nice IR portfolio. I purchased and 828 for IR. I've not removed the filter. I find it difficult to capture little if any detail in the shadows. Did you have the same issue before removing the filter. Thanks. Randy

excellent, great color and choice of exposure, i would like to see the farmers face, i know the photo opportunities dont always work that way. well done
