I don't think this is as good as most of your work Michael. The comp isn't as strong, the dark upper left corner is a bit distracting/confusing.

I like the depth created by the repeating rocks heading out to sea, and the colors are nice. I'm wondering if a comp a little more to the right, including more of the rock with the nice color would have been a good choice. The foreground has a bit too much empty space here, in my opinion. I like the misty water, and cascades off of the distant rock.

I really like the mood here with the misty water along with the contrasting warm and cool colors, Michael. My only suggestion would be a small crop from the bottom as it seems just a bit empty compared to the rest of the scene.

This looks muddy to me, Michael, as presented here. But I sure see a lot of potential. There are hints of the sunset light all through the image that would look sensational if opened up a bit. Also, the strong vignetting on the left could get lost! Overall a great comp with beautiful color that just needs some more work on the processing. I hope you repost.

I think this has great potential. As the others have noted there are a few things that I would like to see improved to really make this stand out (to be more specific the upper left corner and 'muddy' look)
