Fascinating location, Fadil, some real interesting elements here. I especially like the corner of sky at the horizon--almost wish there was a bit more of it since it adds such nice depth. My only real nit here is that the water seems to have some odd color discontinuites--strong magenta next to patches of strong cyan--hard to say how it got that way without knowing how you processed this.

Great light on the cliff, the water does seem off color wise. I like the comp and the water action.

I agree with the other comments. I like the composition and this is a great location, but the color of the water does seem off in places. Should be a relatively easy fix.

Beautiful coastline shot. I love the color of the water. I would like to see more of the cliff, so I would suggest taking a vertical here to if you can or stitch together a couple of horizontals. Nice work!

Fadil,

What a terrific example and great use of warm and cool tones. I think that the saturation and contrast play a big roll, but I don't think it's over done. I just love the interaction between the warm, golden rocks and cliffs and the very cool hues of the sea. What a beautiful spot - one that would certainly draw the attention of this photographer if I were there. Nice work.

Lon

The water texture and color is really good. I think the comp would be more effective if there was better separation between the foreground and background elements on the right side of the frame.

@Stan Rose, Paul Marcellini, Phil Pogledich, Thank you for your suggestion about the color of the sea water, I will try to adjust the image based on your suggestion. I really appreciate it.

@Dean Sauskojus, I do have the vertical version, I will post it next time. Thank you very much.

@Lon Overacker, thank you for your appreciation.

@Tony Kuyper, yes you are right, I wish I can have another position, this is the only position I had, I was standing above big sea rock, no more space to get another angle. Thank you very much. Any suggestion for cropping the image ? I just did feel good about the composition.
