Actually, I beg to differ. The shot is nice, though a bit more space to showcase the clouds in entirety would be preferable.
As to the placement of the tree, it is more apt for 7x6 or 1x1 for me. Those little dots of trees on the right are a distraction, and the picture with those trees discarded seems better for me.

Quick comments.
#30 - The fact that you have tilted the lens downwards quite severely here shows in the reflections - would choose to liquify. Also, find that the key element is shoved too much to the side. A wee bit more space will help.
#29 - Beautiful sky, but beyond that I'm not a fan of the composition - too many distracting elements. Understand that you are perhaps constrained by location, but I would think that there is a way to minimize the huge amount of clutter on the left (especially those trees) and balance out the shot - right now it's too left heavy, and if it were any other less wondrous sky, would be a weak shot. The sky helps to compensate a little for that. That said, that sky with just reflections would be beautiful enough for me.
#18 - More space around the bottom/left/right would be great.
#20 - What's the compositional idea here? Sky is great, the subjects are suitable for BnW conversion, but what do you think of the placement here?
#21 - Orton effect? Or attempt at disguising cloning job? Either case, that glow around the rock doesn't work for me. It's interesting enough as a stand-alone subject, nonetheless.
#22 - More space around bottom/right this time.
#24 - I understand what you try to do here - lead into the centre. Nonetheless, this results in a very left-heavy photograph. My suggestion is to use a more gentle angle to this lead-in line and lead into a third.
Cheers.

Thanks!
Composition wise could be better I think as you can see below
Ah I see what you meant. Thanks for the feedback Manita. Glad the processing worked for you
Hi!
Yes I did loose lots of the clouds for this one due to my composition and croping done. I'm reading up on vertoramas and I believe it will be a good option when one wants to highlight/showcase cloud formations/movements as I've seen from numerous images uploaded in the web.
And those trees, it was a distraction but somehow I wanted it to be there. Beats me why I never cropped it away hehe. Maybe I just like the image of those trees almost submerged in the water when I was looking over to the horizon.
#30 - Yes I was. I wanted to go lower for this but it was impossible. The tide was very strong and choppy. From where I was, I have no choice I guess. But given the situation to a more experienced photographer, maybe there will be a better way to compose this, and I'm still bad with liquifying
#29 - Yup. Nothing to shout about for the composition. You know all the good spots there at the tip of your fingers I presume
. It was a wait and see approach for me actually. I didn't have the time to go down as the rain just stopped and it was already sunset. The sky really makes-up for this, if not it's just another snapshot I guess.Interesting when you said there is a way to minimise the clutter on the left, because I tried but I couldn't without losing the sky. Must do my homework again.
#20 - The million dollar question hehe..The first thing on my mind when I was composing for this was how to reduce all the other elements in the background as much as possible. The spot where I was standing I found it to be the best at that time as I could isolate these, and with the thought of having an easier time in post processing later. I guess I didn't put much thought in composition/placement of the woods. My thoughts were focussed on how to make my shot as minimalistic as possible, with just the woods as the subject..eerrks.. :/
#21 - Now this is embarrasing. This is the first time I heard about Orton effect. Yup I tried to process this diferrently with the intention to have a 'softer looking' image as a whole without loosing much texture to the rock. I didn't try to hide the fact I cloned the horizon actually. I never do. I guess by now most will know I do that often. Many will beg to differ and totally disagree with what I've been doing, but It's something I love to see and do..As much as I love to take beautiful landscapes, it's my passion too to do minimalistic works, and I constantly try to incorporate both to my pictures. I admit my cloning jobs leave much to be desired most times.I'm trying hard to improve on it.
#24 - I get what you mean..go it!
Thanks edutilos- for viewing, taking your time commenting and providing feedbacks on my pics. Lots of pointers learnt. I appreciate it very much!
Cheers.

Hi,
Not every shots, only when I'm out shooting sunrise.
Usually when I do my post processing.
And I believe when doing long-exposure shots where there are constant movement of people, water, objects and which caused by the wind will sometimes create a 'misty, dreamy' feel to the pictures. I hope I make sense here
