Love the foreground, sea and sky on this but my only niggle would be the Grad is a little bit obvious on the upper right hand rocks.
I used to spend every summer sunday down at Ogmore when I was a lad. You have certainly make it look better than I remember. Nice one.

Superb image, (from someone who aspires to take a decent landscape image one day!) Really must get one of those 10 stop grads! :toast:

Better than my landscape that's for sure! How do this compare to Lee's?

Rgds,

Thanks everyone.

I don't know Des, if I was starting over I'd go for the Lee system but I've invested in the Cokin X-Pro including the £200 polariser.
My Sony doesn't give a colour cast with Cokin but I'm changing over to Nikon next week hopefully so I'm not sure if I'll have to sell my Cokin as I know my mates who use Canon have severe magenta casts with Cokin but not with Lee.

The Lee 10 stopper is easier to use as it just slots in, mine screws on the lens then my filter holder screws into that and I have to keep taking it all apart every time I want to re-compose.

Geoff.
