    Re: The Bay

    These don;t work for me i'm afraid. The first is spoilt by the scaffolding on the house, which is also obscured by the plants around it. It also seems quite central in the shot and the background and it's lighting isn't particularly inspiring.

    The second one seems very strangely processed. Not sure if it's an effect you intended on, but the purple and yellow patches and the blotchy effect spoil it for me. Sorry.
    Please have a look and leave a comment or three...

    Odd, but...to me the scaffolding on the house makes the shot more interesting, from a evolution point of view. If it were a perfect shot without it, it may look somewhat plainer, though with a nice sunrise or sunset in the distance it would be better without the scaffolding. On the second shot, I may want either more negative space to show what's going on around the area, or for it to be more zoomed in on the upper homes. Very interesting place.

    I like the effect (colors, processing) of the second image. What I don't like is that pixelated noise in the sky. If you could remove that, it would work better for me. But then, maybe that noise was intended.
