Thanks fellows. Appreciate the comments :)

Adding 2 more of the splash (since it became so popular) this was a few attempts after No.4
No camera, lens or photographer got wet taking these pics (Fortunately ;D)

07.



08. A resized 100% crop from the center, wanted to post big but flickr reduces the size. Lovely detail in them splashes :)

Lovely photographs. As everyone else said, no. 4 has the wow factor. No 3 also have a very nice feeling about it.
Thanks for sharing..

1,2,4,6,8....there is less comparisons.....how can I avoid Brendon's first photo? good angle.....second is great for modelling....In line with 4, 8th rocks.

Wow ! Great photos G2 !!!!

The first two are superb (mostly because you used a superb model !!!). Must say that the first two are scene stealers !!!

#4 is decent but could look MUCH MUCH better if you included the handsome model you used in #1 and #2 somewhere in the photo. :)

I completely agree mate, The model made all the difference ;D
With your comment regarding no.4 I assume you are ok with taking a plunge in the sea (that's the spirit ;))
You might get a lil wet but would make for an awesome photo ;D so when are we doing it? Can we do it in a river with some crocs in the water aswell, you know as an extra element in the photo ;D

i loved all the pics...ur getting really good at seascapes...im happy to see the change from macros to seascapes...we've got the sea pretty close to us so ideally we should be shooting a lot more of it..but for some reason we've been going to far off places like nagla block for macros instead of the sea!!!!!!!..dropping individual comments incase you want me to really nitpick...

i liked pic 1 a lot...most humans look terrible when shot with a UWA or fisheye but Mr Videocon is in a different league ;)

pic 2 - happy to see u trying strobist stuff...we gotta plan a strobist shoot!!! in terms of what could be done better - in this one maybe some coloured gels instead of white light and a slightly smaller aperture??

pic 3 - liked the colours and the processing. the bird seems a bit out of place - maybe its due to it being a bit too large for this pic...somewhere towards the top left corner would've been better.

pic 4 - nice...makes me want to try a similar pic:)

pic 5 - i liked this one the best..i liked the composition as well as subtle colours / shades...in terms of what could be done better - id have pushed a GND upside-down to get the water a bit better in the lower half of the pic...

pic 6 - its nice but i think it would look better in b&w...
