Out playing with my new toy, still figuring things out.
I was told about this hidden little gem just south of St. Augustine Florida on A1A.

I am somewhat unsure about the first one, Jack. Personally, I'm not keen on that sun flare and there is a bit of distraction from some background elements near the trunk. I would selectively slightly tone down those buildings etc.

The second one has too much out of focus foreground. Maybe a square crop might be worth trying.

Number three is OK although I think I would try cropping out some of the top? Maybe end up with something like a 4 x 5 ratio?

Those zoom effect images are popular with some people although I'm not really keen on them unless there is a particular reason for doing it.

They were all rather tricky shots so well done for having a go with them.

Not sold one the first one, tones seem off and missing definition, too much to process for me.
