just as a quick note, when you are shooting cloud + water alone, with no anchor element, the sky must be able to stand alone, i.e. it must be interesting enough.

some other brief comments:

1) keep an eye out on your color balance, too much green/cyan in the shadows/midtones from what i see in #5; definitely a very strong magenta cast in #9, #8 is a bit too yellow for my liking but that can be let go.

2) when the sun is present, try to keep it on the red/orange side. too much magenta is probably not so natural looking.

could you explain the thought process behind shooting #9? why you chose to frame how you chose to frame? having technicalities is a good base to build on, but you must be able to control your technical strength to output something that is palatable. therefore, composition has to go hand in hand with technique - try not to concentrate too much on either one to the point of sacrificing the other.

Hello Uncle Night86mare, Thanks for your C&C.
1) For #5, Ok noted. Yes I check on my PP and I actually push quite a bit for Magenta on #9. Yes, I see quite yellow now.
2) Ok Noted too.

Ok, I remember framing this shot. There are two trees and about 5 chairs facing the water and horizon. I think I took more than 15 different shots and compositions. To frame two chairs or more shooting from behind and together with the trees is very boring and facing directly to the water and horizon is very tight. I decide to frame this shot #9 because from the first left chair leading to the last chair on the right frame will also lead to see the horizon from left to right and this is more interesting. I think is more fresh and more of a peaceful scene to frame it this way.And also like the space behind the chairs and is more spread out, neat and tidy. So this is my thought process behind shooting number #9 and finally frame it this way.
He..He.. sorry, I hope I answer correctly and very difficult to write.
Thanks.

Hi Manita,
Nice series. I like #7 best as I am a cloud person.:thumbsup::thumbsup:
Clouds are useful to photographers as they show intricate natural patterns that add interest
and detail to the shot. There are Cirrus Clouds; Alto Clouds; Stratus Clouds and Cumulus Clouds.
Keep posting different types and colours of clouds.
Cheers.

You've really come a long way Manita! From what I have seen here, I think you've got a good grasp of the fundamentals. Keep exploring and I'm sure you'll be able to hit new heights in the near future.

Probably the wrong time to take this shot. Merlion hasn't started throwing up and the surrounding was still dark. The lights on the top left of the frame caught my attention instead of the Merlion.

Nice series. Apart from the few issues with color cast, the rest are all worthy of posting.
For an young age like yours and already commanding these photographic senses, I can see in you the making of a very promising female photographer in Spore.

Wish my kids are like you instead spending their energy chasing virtual fighters in gaming.

Hello Brother Mimik07,
Thanks for the encouragement. Will keep on shooting.
For the Merlion shot, I will take note and shoot a better Merlion in future.
