If you look at the seascapes where the horizon is broken by foreground (eg. #3), you can see how the foreground gets progressively darker upwards. This guy is making extensive use of gradient gray filters. But quite successfully I'd say. :-)

Metering is easy enough to compensate, but the lack of reflections and blooming is humbling.
