Nicely captured. I think a curve adjustment layer may have helped get rid of the faint haze, but nonetheless a magical scene and an ideal challenge entry. 8

Good tones, the shadows are severly clipped, but I suspect this was done intentionally. Great perspective and strong composition/subject matter. I give it a 10.

Awesome capture. Very well controlled. Love the heat displacement from the engines. Great work.

Kia Ora Bryan! Nice DoF and great selective desat. Don't think I'd have the patience myself, but it seems to work rather well here.

I see from your other work that you get around Auckland a fair bit. Might bump into you sometime :) I try to sneak out for shoots, when weather permits, and usually haunt either Eastern Beach or One Tree Hill. Though aside from going all the way out west to Piha/Bethells, I struggle to find truly breathtaking land/seascapes - any tips on good locations around here?

Cheers
Rina.

edit to add: Just re-read your bio! Guess bumping into you is pretty much out of the question! LOL!

I think I prefer this version to the black and white, packs more punch. Wonder how a semi-transparent bg for the inset image would work rather than white...? Just a thought. I quite like your post-processing style, it's kinda retro cool.

Hey thanks for your visit to my portfolio too :) Very glad to know you liked what you saw there. Cheers!
