I like the cemetery the best, but I think that I would clone out the power pole and lines as well as the tower. Also, maybe(?) crop out a bit more of the bottom of the photo and the shadow or what ever it is in the lower left corner.
The other pictures have very nice color and detail, but IMHO, not the appeal.

I like #3 as well. Great atmosphere with the tulle fog. I agree with "ront" as to the cropping and cloning, you may want to add some dark vignetting to punch up the moody feel.

I also like #1. Great morning seaside shot. Good clarity.

These are incredible! You captured the fog perfectly, and I love the fluttery action of the moving bird. Very unexpected :thumb

Thanks.

I'll rework the cemetery one. I did clone out the tower originally, and you could see the smudge. So I got frustrated and went with the original B&W conversion.

I did not notice the gull in motion until later. First Lightroom pass, I assumed that was a ruined shot. But on second look, with the background in such clear focus, I really liked that one.

The hardest part about this photography hobby is not taking a technically good picture, it's learning what everyone else thinks is a good looking picture. Thanks for your help.

#4 :clap

I like them all, but #4 is my pick of all of them. Brings back memories :D

Love #1 #3.

PS: It is best to number pictures when posting more than three, for easier reference.

I like them all, the motion blur on the gull is pretty neat but my favorite, far and away, is #4 I love the feel of it!! There are some things that could be done with it (cloning out the tower and adding a vignet ... ) but even with out that ... great atmosphere. Love it.

Love #3!!! I gotta find me some good spots for morning fog pictures here in the Puget Sound area!!

That is the truth!!

But a good photo is generally liked by all.

No 3 is superb! I agree with the cloning sugestion to make it perfect.:clap

[ghinson]

So cloned and cropped:

(not an easy cloning job, by the way. lots a grey-diation in there.)

Nice job!

I like the new version of the cemetery shot, but #4 is the best to me...very nice soft lighting and a simple subject.:clap

I like #3 the best, looks like a seen out of some movie night of the living zombies or something.
Great job.
