Fabulous photos Todd. Lucky man to be able to get out and explore. I love the beautiful colours you've captured and that water looks super. The lizzy is rather special too - lovely angles.

Thanks Isac. Really pretty part of the world.

Great collection of pictures. Particularly four and seven. The water looks beautiful and very inviting. You could probably pick the boat up cheap. The last picture I don't see anything of interest and because it looks like a nice spot I would question the composition. The shot before it is stronger but would probably look better with a bit more punch. See if you agree

Thanks Hans I like your edit. Just upped the saturation and contrast?
My concern was washing out the water and clouds too much.

It was fairly difficult to get something worthwhile there as it was the middle of the day and very bright. Early morning it would be a spectacular spot.

Didn't touch the saturation just used curves to increase the contrast a bit. Then ran it through smart sharpen 0.3 pixel at 500% took less than a minute.

Thanks Hans

All good Toddy, need an explanation as to which south coast you're talking about, I know of several thousand kilometres of south coast in Aussie including Tas. 😉

NSW South Coast Greg. Mostyl from Moruya to Eden then inland south of Braidwood

My take on the waterfall image. Repairs to some of the blown parts in the waterfall, Hue/Sat layer and brought up reds and yellows, changed the sky colour (I thought it looked a bit to cyan) and straightened. Sharpening brush on the foreground rocks just to add some texture.

Thanks Isac. Really nice edit that one.
