    The second one is my favourite! The others seem a little bit... "flat"?

    Quite like the third shot but as Joe said they seem fairly flat. Sort of snapshots tbh...

    That's exactly what I was aiming for. I wanted to celebrate those horrible childhood summer holidays at a west of Ireland 'resort.'

    The (far side of the) Aran Islands wouldn't be my first choice to take a holiday with a seven year old and an eight year old, but my parents had other notions. Different generations, eh?

    I think #5 could be pretty good if you put a bit of life into the colour.

    well you asked so

    to me 3 looks desaturated I would try to bring up the sharpness of the building as well. I would also be looking attempting a black and white conversion.
    and I'd also up the saturation in the other 2.

    I loved 5 (the wide screen of the rough seas)

    I just thought the land in 6 was dark.

    But thats just me..

    I like number 2

    Number 3 would have been a nice shot if the sky was not so bleached out.
    I think that sky like that is common enough though this time of year. A lot of my recent shots with sky in them have had this issue. Not quite sure how you fix it in camera and I'd love to know how to sort it in CS4 as well.

    Oh no. I won't flame you. I was going to ask if you want a crack at it?

    I split the image into 3 areas
    the lower foreground the tiny bit of blue in the center and the rest of image I'm not sure if its better and I had to check to make sure that it was indeed different.

    Looks flat.

    Oh, granted, you processed the image to bring out the full tonal range of the ground and sky, but in the process you've lost what I've felt is a lot of the drama in the image: The sun bursting through clouds has been made into just a patch of blue sky, and the wet fields of Achill have become a morass of ugly sensor noise because you've pushed its exposure so high.

    I'm assuming you don't mind me having a go? A lot of grey in it (which I suppose is the point) but I liked the cloudscape..

    I put as much depth as i could. the blue present in the original image. the problem as I saw it was that while you had captured the blue sky the foreground was very dark as a result which resulted in me describing unfinished. My solution was to create 3 jpegs at -1 0 and 2 levels of exposure I used the foreground from the 2 exposure the blue sky was taken from the minus one and the rest of the image is from the zero level jpeg. I did not think the bright area in the center of the image was the sun but a clearing in the cloud and that blue sky could seen in it not the sun.
