The vignetting looks pretty dark for daylight particularly on the left side but aside from that I think it looks pretty good the way it is. It's very bright in the middle but the light looks nice, sort of otherwordly.

What should I do to it? I don't like how there seems to be a vignette, but like a negative vignette so the middle is too bright, how would I fix that?

I'd say give the contrast a bit of a bump, have a look at toning down the highlights a little (the big cloud band in the middle of the image seems excessively bright) and generally try and even out the lighting. One way you could try and even it out so the middle isn't so bright, assuming regular vignette correction does not work, is using grads in LR to try and apply a more even level of light throughout the image (manipulate the positioning/intensity of the grads to suit.)

I'm by no means a LR/PS expert, but that's where I'd start - contrast and fixing the uneven brightness.

Okay, how about this then guys?
Fixed the negative vignette as much as possible, added a bump in contrast, slightly killed of the blue, slightly warmer etc.

I like it, I would maybe try taking a bit of the water off the bottom and see how it looks but I think it looks better than before.

I was about to say bump up the blue a touch and add one or two on the black slider in LR.

I think that was at 50mm the only lens I have that is wider is the kit lens - I don't remember what shots I got with that, that day!

They say, "you mean it's just sounds?" thinking that for something to just be a sound is to be useless, whereas I love sounds just as they are, and I have no need for them to be anything more than what they are.

Simply perfect. Except for the sensor dust in the top left corner. But otherwise, simply perfect.

This is awesome, but I think the dreamy summer mood in this might benefit from some lighter blacks/desaturated greens.

2nd one is awesome, all those leading lines give it nice depth. 3rd one is probably the weakest, no real subject and the sky doesn't make up for it.

Do you have a really wide lens and an ND filter? I honestly haven't tried them but I that's what's involved.

The first one is the best. I like the sun rays and the fact that you gave the sky more room by putting the ocean so low in the frame. I also like the dark clouds at the top, they seem to balance out the ocean. The two middle ones look underexposed. For this kind of shot you'll need to take at least two exposures (one for the sky, one for the land) and combine them in photoshop. Or a quicker way that might work is to use a graduated ND filter to darken out the sky so you can expose for the land. Never tried that though so maybe it would look terrible. The last one has nice colors, but I'm not feeling any sense of subject or even a pleasing composition.

Thanks for the tips dude! The two middle ones probably are underexposed, my monitor is really bright and it's only the one exposure. I didn't know about doing that in photoshop, but I've heard of the ND filters. And yeah I agree with the last one, there's no focus but I like it because it makes me want to go paddling!
