3rd is best by far

Agreed

Its a shame you have not captured (or shown) a photo of the lighthouse with the sky from pic five behind, that would be a super photo.

I am glad to have inspired you

Wow... I don't think I've seen such a variety of different shots from 1 session. I like 'em all

1. stark, simple, clean... works well with no sky/sea.
2. interesting... not sure if it worked but worth a try.
3. brill'
4. would look great blown up & printed.
5. amazing sky... not sure it works as a complete piece without a focal point, but amazing colours.

The second picture needs the horizon straightening

Fixed the horizon on no.2 and removed the ghosted people to give more of a shocked expression on the people who are clearer.

I'm starting to get a complex, recently I've been liking the shots others don't favour and it's the same again here.

My favourite is number 2, I don't recall seeing any other photo showing light trails of a boat like that. Very original and creative and well captured.

I like the composition of the lighthouse but the colours don't seem natural to me, how much work did you do on it?

I've taken loads, but they never felt right. Dave's works, and works nicely, because of the people in it adding to the drama. It does seem a tad over-exposed however, and I'd prefer a smaller aperature for nicer star lights

Thanks, I altered the white balance for effect and upped the shadows/exposure/saturation in the Photoshop RAW Editor.

3 and 4 are my favourites by far....just love the colours.

1 is interesting geometrically and I think B&W was the right way to go.

Not sure about the boat light trail, but it's certainly unique!

i had a closer look now, 1 i like, simple line that you look along into the picture and back, #2, very clever, love boats that go downhill.........#3 good shot, nice colours. #4 nice sky but the middle foreground looks too dark to me and finally #5 wow what a sky!
