Number 2 is a brilliant shot and I like number 1 as well. Great stuff!

Hello there
Been missing these, all I can with #1 with thats Struggling with your Mojo, well I haven't even got one. Thats a great picture, never a big fan of selective colouring, but this works really well. Nice one
Cheers Holo

Sheesh if my mojo ever slips that far 
Just kidding. 
Seriously, I really like #1 a lot. I wouldn't mind knowing how you achieved that sky effect if it isn't too much of a trade secret?
#2 is nice too (& very very Vulkan™) but there's something about the reddish glow around the rocks that seems slightly strange (may just be me though) and in any case I know I'm being a bit picky.

No secret just the effects of a long exposure during the day.In this case 202secs achieved with Nd1000 Cp Ndg8 & NDg4 stacked Quote:

Thanks for your opinion | |

Yup. You've still got 'it'.
The angle in #1 works really well, as do the tones/colours. Was it selective colouring or just a drop of the saturation? Nice effect either way.
Love the reflections from the wet rocks, esp in #2. Lifts the overall brightness of the shot without losing the moody light of the sunset. Can't see any EXIF on flickr. How long were the exposures of #2 and #3?

Nice shots Alex, interesting processing on the first one - but i'd have to straighted that horizon line up 
Really like the figure in the 3rd - looks a bit wild.

Alex
.. your mojo ( such as you describe it) is alive and well as are your Vulkanising skills 
Life is not a 100m race
Take your breaks and keep returning with stuff like this
well done
I like all of them #2 is very eye catching though
Oh thanks Im having a wee dram or 3..
