Nice pics overall ;) The colour ones looks oversaturated in parts like the seagulls beaks and leags and some of the beach peoples shirts and... The water and sky to. My favorite one is the converse picture. :biggrin:

Thanks, Yeah I couldnt make the saturation any lower without it looking fake,
maybe the oversaturation is what makes me think theyre not good

Over all you did great on photographing all your subjects. I would have to agree about the bottom ones on up to the gulls, the colors seem a bit over done. I'm wondering were these shot in RAW? If they were, it's real easy to fix this.

Keep up the great work. :biggrin:

Best Regards,

Jason ;)

Seagulls look normal to me, I always remember the gulls in NZ had brighter colorings than those I saw in Australia, but the water looks fake NZ Beaches are more greenish looking from what I recall especially around the lower half of the Nth Island.

Dance your edits are dull no offence but they look it to me.

Syntex what beach is this?
