dragonfly,

I'm pleased to see you've got to grips with it very quickly.

No. 3 is very effective, good lines to lead the eye into the picture, and an excellent reflection of the clouds in the water.

Thanks NL, have I mentioned that I'm delighted with it, can't say hubby is tho! never mind he'll soon be away offshore so I can spend as long as I want taking pics!

here are 3 taken down at the beach

the sea smoke was much better with the human eye but happy its quite clear in this one

Love the seaweed shot, nice and sharp and contrasty, looks like you've got yourself a good lens there.

I too am loving the seaweed shot but also like the BEEEG sky in the last - very simple shot but very nice.
