Took these at the beginning of the year when I was in NZ, only just browsing my library tonight and thought I would process them.

Very nice compositions and colors Matt.
The one in the middle appears to have a tiny blue cast on the sand which can be related to the white balance in the image comes from a digital camera.
Then again a jpg @ 72dpi image it is not way close to the original
Cheers

Matt did you put the vignetting in yourself....or did that come from the lense you used? in the first pic

I dont think the cast is that noticable.....kind of makes the picture i think

[dmdigital]

Doesn't look like a cast is present in the full image. I think it's a combination of the small JPEG and the fact that it is placed with 2 others with a lot of blue, giving an optical illusion almost.

Nice shots!

The large image is much better
I can see on the file info that you are using a Nikon D80 and do not use Nikon capture NX2.
By using the Adobe products, Lightroom or Adobe camera Raw, the software ignores the camera settings, there fore there are double PP on the images.
Problems with the post processing will be increased if the photographer shoot directly on jpg format instead of nef.
I am very reluctant to use Auto White Balance with the Nikon D200 software
All in all as I said before they are very nice images with intensive color tones and nice composition.

I have a D80 too and I also use lightroom.......and I always shoot raw and ifI remember I always take a white balance shot before shooting somewhere so I can correct it my self
