This is another shot from Fleetwood beach, taken a few minutes before yesterday's, and beyond the fact that I'm pleased with how it turned out I don't have too much to say about this one. I would be interested to hear what you think though, especially since I seem to have drifted away from producing this style of image in recent months.

This is more your "style" I feel. Well at least it reminds me of the images I saw when I first discovered your site. ( Don't stop the HDR though). I'm interested to know how you got that "gritty contrast" in the sea and pebbles, is this just a curves layer, only this look eludes me on some of my images. Is the colour balance then applied to the whole image. Should I go back and re-read the tutorials ?

Good to see you back to Chromasia basics ;-) Love the sky reflected in the sea towards the horizon - I love cloudy days by the sea.

You certainly are a master of the skies!
This has such a great sense of space and depth; reminds me of a sky by J M W Turner.

What a beautiful sky you have here!
beautiful sky !!
really like this one dave. nice to see some vintage chromasia action :)
stood there myself on friday with a girl in wedding dress, wellies and an umbrella :)
love this - more like the 'traditional' chromasia :)
so want the 16 - 35 lens!
I like the wideness displayed with this beautiful work. The colors possess a dramatic quality and add to this feeling of seeing no limits...
Great colours and atmosphere!
That's a really awesome shot. Very cool.
HDR has the 'shock of the new' factor but I can spend a long time looking at this image, finding things to appreciate about it .
Thanks all.
Very great !
Cool how the clouds give a real "threatning" feel to the picture. Great job on the contrast between the peddles and sky too!
hdr is a fad. this image is timeless.

Nearly surreal. Love the tones and light. Beautiful pic as usual!
