It comes in waves

Brave abstraction. Bit funky colors, but I guess that only enhances the abstraction. 8

Grape Creek Reverie

Great moment, but it looks way to much like a snap shot to put in the photo album. A very well executed snap shot though :) 6

I think this is way to brigth, but it kinda suits it, except from the background that should be at least one stop darker. 6

My second 10 of the day. Natural drama, perfectly executed in every way. 10

Overly dramatic, which suits the sky. The wave in front don't need that much drama, and pier don't need that much punch. 7

The Pequest

My first 10 so far, and I have my suspicion to who this is. Maybe the sky could be more blue and/or darker, but this has the feel of someone that knows what he/she is doing. So 10 from me

The colors to me is a bit halfway there. I would've used a warmer tone as a contrast to the "chilly" purple light mother nature gives. But that's me. 6

Obviously very nice, I have a similar shot, but when photo and water comes together we have to drag the shutter right? The corners could darker. In photoshop you could try a lassoo and make a more natural vignette. Select what you would want to be the center of attention, in this case I would choose the leafs and where the water impacts on whatever it hits, then draw a "spikey circle" around it (imagine a star with way to many arms). Then feather it somewhere between 180 and 255 depending on how graded you want you vignette to be. Now you have a smoother "circle". Open a curves layer, invert its mask and darken your curves layer. Now you should have a very natural looking vignette.

This has an abstract painted quality to it that I personally love. The composition is a bit weird to me, to many randomly cropped circles, but the colors are very good. 9

Reflected Rockpool

The "mountain" in center is back lit, so I would've tried to darken that entire section, then darkened its shadows even more. The rest of the photo is splendid. 7
