Phil, I like numbers 1 and 3 - nice compositions and natural colours (although I would increase the contrast in 3). Number 2 is too tightly cropped for me, and the background merges into the deck of the ship.
Thank you Philip. Horizons OK? Only I'm more aware of them than I was, the same for verticals. However, sometime I wonder about 'barrel distortion' and whether it's me, the lens or my monitors which are to blame.
Phil, I didn't dare to mention them again , but the horizons look fine in the last three photos!
Using a wide angle lens might cause a slight barrel distortion of the horizon when it is not in the centre of of the frame - I think you would have to be much higher than your viewpoint on the cliff top to see the curvature of the Earth. You could test the lens by taking a shot with the sea horizon in the bottom half of the frame, and seeing if the horizon curves down in the middle.
Fabulous capture there. My guess is that it would print up large wonderfully on something like Hahnemuhle Watercolour Paper coming off a HP Design-jet Z3200 printer. Real long term exhibition quality stuff Ed, but not unexpected coming from you.
This is known as Sandend, and during the 'off season' is ideal for dog walkers, wind surfers, kayaking etc. The beach is large enough to accommodate many activities at the same time.
