As for constructive critiques: The light IS dramatic on TriX, but I'm sure that "Maui Sunset" would be outright stunning in colour. The horizon on several of the ocean expanse shots are just slightly slanted left. (Which can be saved in the dark/light room luckily.) The last image is the least appealing to me as the horizon (while straight) is almost dead center of the frame. Extreme cropping placing the horizon high in the frame or much lower would help the image be much better, IMO. My absolute favourite here is the clipper in "Harbor." It is almost silhouetted, but you have retained enough detail in the shadow to even read the name of the ship. A very good image. Carpe Luminem, MeBé
