I like those shots. The rocky and secluded beach is well framed and the sky offers a very smooth "backdrop". Is it my eyes or some rocks on the B&W image still have some colors (center of the frame)?

Francois, good eye! I added some very subtle selective colouring to parts of the rocks in the centre, but no one except you noticed or commented on them. Of these three, which one do you like best?

Thanks for the reply, Paulo!

Oh, do not worry, they are quite noticeable (and unnecessary).

#1 has a better composition, #3 mood.

Great subject and interesting treatments. A little unnatural for my taste.

I like the 1st one with color treatment of the 3rd one. The 2nd one would have been cool but the selective coloring in the middle killed it for me.

I'd prefer the second one if it was B&W, and if you lifted some of the blacks in the deepest shadows.

My preference goes to the last photo. I like the general mood but the other two photos are really not far in quality.

Yeah, I though I had popped a blood vessel  in my eye and it was tinting a tiny section of the image. Make it all B/W.
Other than that, really nice.

could be my monitor and time of day (I have a bit of a glare behind me from the morning sun) - but they appear over saturated and dark shadows really dark.  I don't feel the selective colouring in 2 adds to your composition, admitting I tend to find that technique (like misty waterfalls shot with an ND filter) past its prime in most images, however the ones I have seen that utilize it best seem to delineate their target in a more precise way.  Example - ONE apple in a barrel of apples.

I like the 3rd one best but would tone it done a bit to achieve a slightly more realistic image.  Otherwise, I see many beautiful shots from you posted here, you certainly have a great landscape location library.
