Follow the Tide

The sky didn't offer anything interesting, but the tide always comes through!

Love the lead in with the S curve. The sea stack is also a great feature. A couple of things come to mind that might be an improvement. Perhaps a little more room at the top of the stack and less of the bottom. I would also like to see a bit more detail in the shadows and brighter whites, the image comes across as a bit muddy.

The sky may not have been interesting, but the peak in the background against the monochromatic sky is an appealing element and adds interest. The curve of the tide in the foreground around the rocks draws my attention into the composition. If anything, I might have wanted to see a little more on the left.

Love the flowing water patterns here!
Great choice of B&W and perfect comp too

I really like that line the water makes. But I agree with Adam that some more contrast and detail in the shadows would make this pop even more.

Same here. Very nice comp but processing needs more contrast and shadow detail to really make the image pop.

I really like the curvy leading line and the texture you've captured in the water.

Looks great to me! I just shot this exact spot last week. I was pretty surprised when I came over the rocks and saw this. Beautiful place indeed

Neat s-curve with a strong destination for the following eye. I could see selectively dodging the highlights in the water to make the trail even more obvious and a stronger focal point.

Excellent composition! I'd like to see it just a little crisper. I shoot with this camer a also, and never take the iso off of 100 if I can help it. I would have used an aperture closer to 11, and tried to leave the iso as low as possible.

Thanks for your suggestions! I'll be working on this for some pop! I need to work on the web compression...with this image, large or small, I haven't been able to get it as sharp as it is in Adobe. That's why I'm here! I hope to bring more images soon!
