[QUOTE="Nathan Lanni, post: 190558, member: 14629"] Thanks Moab Man for your honest critique. You bring out some really good points. In spite of the temptation to get great images, I'll try not to start any forest fires. :) Apart from snapping away at anything when I first got the camera, this is one of my first attempt to do something different, but was pretty clueless about using the camera. Thanks for mentioning the level - I kind'a struggled with this one. I used the Live View level, so the horizon is natural. In post I didn't know if I should level it or go with the slope I saw in the camera. I notice from your example the horizon is very level, and I read people mentioning this before. Do you typically level it? Your other point about the cloudless sky is on the mark. In post I had to really work the image to keep some of the sky colors and no lose the water. I was shooting manual but using the meter. I'll give your advice a shot - thanks [/QUOTE]
