Great light and composition, Mario. My only nit would be the slightly tilted/distorted horizon line. But that's about it. Love the rest.

This is very nice, Mario. The comp and colors are beautiful. A very difficult exposure situation, without doing some exposure blending, but the black holes in the fg and detail-less black in the mid ground is holding this image back and pulling in the eyes. I would love to see some detail in those areas.

Beautiful textures in the rocks mixed with real nice colors make this a standout. Very nice.

Its so easy to overdue the saturation on shots like this, but you've done a nice job. The outline of the distant mountains is wonderful. I might remove the slight vignette in the sky, but other than that no nits.

Thank to all for comments and suggestions!

@Steve Sieren: This coast line is very interesting, I think it will be one of my favorite location in the next future.
@Andreas Resch: I think the tilted horizon is a distortion problem, what a eye.Thanks!
