I shot these at the beginning fo the month during one of my St Lucia workshops. There is very little if any PP that here. They are pretty much out of camera.to balance the extremely bright sunrise against the darker foreground I used a 3 stop Cokin Soft graduated ND filter. A polariser and 2 stop ND filter slowed the exposure down to 1/3rd of a sec at f22.
So my questions is this: Is this too much (I mean the pictures themselves)? Is there too much colour difference? The Cokin filters have a colour cast of their own which has been introduced into the scene (very obviously). Some of the guests at St Lucia were impressed, but I'm not sure I should be. There's something too twee about it. Please let me know what you think and pass on any suggestions as to improvements.

I really like. Im struggling a lot with washed out images at them moment. Have you ever heard of damaging your ccd by taking long exposures, and do you know what he impace on images is of a 'burnt' ccd?
I have heard of this happening, but only by shooting something really bright, like the sun through a 500mm lens at midday..and even then it was open for way too long (we're talking like a minute). By washed out do you mean burnt out whites? The problem here is simply clipping of the whites (overexposure). To get the same long exposures you might find that a ND filter and a polariser will help.
