    was filter a hard or soft ND grad?? maybe you could have dropped it down somewhat to even out the sky somewhat....seems like overall the filter was a bit too dark though?

    Where you using a straight ND or and ND Grad? If it was a Grad, I think it needed to be further down the holder so the ND bit didnt just cover the top bit of sky, but was more down the the jetty level. However, I really like the end result as it is.

    There are about 5 or 6 vertical strips where the ND grad is darker. I think that detracts more than the darkness of the sky itself.

    The filter was a cokin grad number P121, I will try the same shots again with the filter pushed down more. Many thanks for your comments.
