 I love this shot..I think it has the look of photos from long ago. It might get trashed, score wise, because it is quite dark (which is intentional). Cropped, levels, hue/sat, slight burn to the clouds and smart sharpened.

This is one of my favorites in your portfolio. The warm tones really do give a sepia feel to the photo without quite losing the color photo feel.

Nice idea, I like the sailboats. Consider cranking up saturation, brightness, and contrast, and a tighter crop may help, more detail on the boats would be better than too much soft sky.

I like the way the sun makes sails the same color as the sky. Nice.

Nice tones and example of the theme. I also like the comp. Could be a bit lighter.
