Morning beach shots from the Jersey shore

[DaveT-NJ]

I just picked up a new lens and wanted to try it out. All shots were taken with my D300 and 85 1.4.

I’m getting comfortable with the camera I am starting to see some improvement with my shots.

Dwayne,

Thank you so much for taking the time to give me specific comments on these shots, this is exactly the type of feedback that I am looking for and will use these suggestions to do a better job next time. I really don't do any PP work other than cropping and "quick fix" using MS Picture Manager, I just purchased NX2 so I will be learning that next. I see that I blew the focus on #4 and #6, I will keep plugging away and thanks again.
