Sunset in Hawaii

Just got back from a great Hawaii trip. Enjoy the pics. Comments are always welcome.

These images are straight out of the camera, only resized and border put on.

These are really nice! I especially like #3. I think you could strengthen the composition of it even more by cropping it such that the horizon isn't dead center. If I were to lose sky or water on it, I'd probably choose a little sky, since you have some room before the clouds get really interesting. Very nice!

Really nice shots badboy. I agree, #3 is my fave too, but great colors in all of them.

Nice stuff badboy! You should convert them from AdobeRGB to sRGB for the web though. The colours aren't showing as well as they could.

Nice pics! I like #3 the best. Not sure if it's my monitor or maybe it's the long exposure times but the leaves on some of the trees have an aura (kinda like a fuzziness around the leaves) that's a bit distracting.

Ditto to what they said I would also crop from the top, as wndrlst suggested, about 20-25%. That would bring that water and reflection more to the front. I gotta go there one day.

That's because of long exposure and some wind. I like it for the wispy effect it gives.

After adjusting the white balance, color space, cropping and some levels adjustment:

Very nice editing badboy. The shot looks a lot better, and it was good before.
