While this is overdone, it's overdone in an interesting way. The editing itself compounds upon the textures inherent in the original for a nice effect. I'm not too keen on the slight vignette action you have going on though. It's very pronounced and draws me away from the subject.

Escape — to the beach

A good choice for the abstract setting. I think it really comes into its own with large swatches of monocrhome color, and you've managed that quite well. It's kinda interesting how the sky is coincidentally brighter right around your vehicle... unless of course this is due to editing? It does a good job of drawing one in, as does the brighter dune.

Sunset over the Bay

Interesting texture to the sky. A nice, different look from many of the others. The more mellow colors are appreciated too. Good shot.

The Top of the Hill

Very nice BW processing. I like this quite a bit. Nice mix of sky and Earth, and interesting curvature of the hill.

Awesome job Tate. Congratulations on the finish. Not only do I not think the grain is "no problem" here, but I think it helps things. My favorite parts are the light streaming through the stairs on the left and the painted walls.

I have to agree with mitalapo and ubique. I thought the same exact thing when I saw the shot. Good job. Oddly, if you wiggle it as was mentioned, it appears sharper.

DC-3

This really reminds me of one of the images that Topaz uses as a promotional for Adjust, only not so insane and done a lot more naturally. Really a great shot- the Adjust really makes that metal look sweet.

The brollies really make me think of Seurat's Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte. This is made much more interesting by being more dark and brooding. Interestingly, it doesn't feel terribly somber to me though, perhaps as a result of the pastel colors.

Decantation

Comment:
I agree with dahlin; that one woman's eyes are super intense, and the lighting just increases the effect. Kinda cool how the decanter is the center of the rooms attention. Surprised you drew so much attention just using an lx3 :)

Man, this is like the Salvador Dali Suite or something with dripping woodgrain, a swirling duvet, and fans with giant leaves for their blades.
