Glad to see that you are using 2 exposures. Just been starting doing this myself. The sky is excellent and I would like to see more of that. The exposure is perfect for the water but a little bit to much cyan/blue to match the sky. The foreground is strong and the small rock on the right is complementing the comp very well. A very dreamlike picture Ballakumar with great potential. Maybe a crop from the left and a touch from right will make it even stronger.

Very moody, well done. My only nit is the top seems a little tight.

The water has a very ominous appearance which I really like. I also like the composition. The sky looks a bit out of place to me because you have obvious water motion but no cloud movement to correspond with it.

Wow, an even darker mood than the previous photo. Of the two I prefer this one, well done.

Balakumar,
I'm really enjoying the quality of light on the sea here. I would agree with the others that I'm wishing for a bit more sky. Perhaps to mitigate that you could actually crop about 1/2 of the bottom rocks for a very interesting panoramic. In the end, I think this is a well-crafted and wonderful seascape.

Thank you all for your views.

"...because you have obvious water motion but no cloud movement to correspond with it."
The exposure time was just a few seconds (probably 3 to 5; I'll check the EXIF when I get home) and within this small duration there wasn't sufficient wind for cloud movement.

I like this. It's well framed and lit like your last one from here. I like the sky pretty much as is. Puts a lot of emphasis on the rocks and water.
