[QUOTE="Clovishound, post: 777797, member: 50197"] Just a bit about myself. I was an avid amateur photographer back in the film days. Did a lot of B&W. Eventually lost interest, thinking my images were not up to snuff given the amount of time and effort input into them. Recently my daughter became interested and I ended up getting her a new Nikon kit, and took her old one. We took a digital photography class together, and I'm getting a little of the bug again. Here are a few pictures I took yesterday at a local beach. Yes, we had to get up at 4:00 AM and drive an hour to get there before the sun came up. Beautiful sunrise, worth the trip alone. Got a few that I think are decent. Open for criticism. I have thick skin, and want to improve. First image, I'm a little concerned about the tree trunk. I left a little detail in it, rather than a full on silhouette. I could pull a little more detail out, but wanted a feel of the early sunrise lighting. Second image has me thinking I may have gone too far with the density of the colors. I know that is a personal choice, and some like a lot of punch and some prefer a more subdued look. [/QUOTE]
