If you'd reduce the saturation on the face and arm, this shot would definitely be a favorite in my folder. Great composition, and the saturation is very nice, but for those abovementioned parts. Thanks.

Might deepen the blue sky. I like the texture/details on the sand and water. Would really like to be in such a scene just about now :)

Agree that clouds are a bit overexposed in some parts, so perhaps burn that in a tad? Overall a dramatic image, and I like the graduated cloud height from left to right.

Great shot....unbelievable detail.

Wow that water...it's like you captured the miniscus of the ocean. Sky is good with a nice gradient, a touch too pastel of blue for my liking but totally acceptable.

I would suggest trying a gradient mask for darkening (sorta like those half filters) to give the sky a deeper darker blue and maintain the bright detailed brilliant capture of the shore and water.

This gets an 8+, but with a deeep blue sky would get a 9 or 10.

Very nice capture of clouds. Might burn the sun area a tad, dodge the light sand to increase drama quotient, and deepen the blue sky on the right side. I'm a sucker for cloud shots :)

Intriguing shot...good capture of the clouds...still something feels a bit amiss on the color balance. But much less than the previous two.

Clouds are over exposed in areas....details wash out a bit, something feels odd/off with the color.

The water (i think that's what the small sliver in the fore ground is) doesn't really add anything and is very distracting.

Something is WAY offer on the color processing of this one. If you could make it look more normal, less pastel I think I might like it but right now...sorry...gotta say thumbs down.
