    These look good. Could you get away with a tiny bit more highlight brightness without causing over exposure? It is a difficult sky.

    And with #2 there is a small faint mark in the top right corner - on the extreme edge but just visible.

    Why not indeed. Beautiful shooting. The composition in each one is spot on IMO. Thanks for the trip.

    It was a difficult sky. I cannot make it better.

    In that case, no problem I'll correct and upload at the same place

    Very nice shots Jean #3 looks a bit too crisp though, may be you should reduce the sharpening a bit especially on the rocks and the building.

    Nice series Jean. Very much like the second. This is a part of the world we might visit this year, here or La Rochelle, we haven't decided yet.

    You are right, maybe the compression?

    I made a test via On1RAW, it's not perfect but more pleasant. At least I think

    Much better

    PS. If you down size your images in PS , I would suggest that you shouldn't choose automatic sharpening options or bicubic sharper option. I always choose 'bicubic smoother' and then apply an unsharp mask according to my taste before saving as JPG.

    The edit is so much better, Jean. I love all three of them but my favourite now is #3.

    Very, very nice. The sky, the sea, beautiful...the second one is my favorite by the way! I wonder how it would look in B&W.
    Thank you for sharing

    Jeffrey, two monochrome versions of #2

    # 2 B&W

    Sunday stroll on the seaside

    # 2 sepia

    Re: Sunday stroll on the seaside

    Of the two options, I slightly prefer the B&W version to the sepia because it is a little bit better in bringing out the contrast, particularly with the sky.
