Nice colors and textures, Julian! I like it as presented, but i think i like it even more as a pure abstract, without the bottom stones. :wavey:

Working very well in the web presentation and will kick a$$ on a large print. Great capture, Julian.

Oh my, what a gorgeous find. The patterns and texture of the large rock are so pretty. The big rock by itself would make a neat abstract, but the inclusion of the smaller oval rock is a great addition.

I like how the "egg" rock is nestled under the big one. Nice lines, color, and texture.

Julian, I appreciate the uncommon combination of abstraction an three-dimensional impression. Colors and shades work great for me.

Very smart composition - I like how much space is given to the large boulder. The few smaller ones are as prominent in the composition, despite their smaller size. Interesting textures and colors too. Makes me wanna seek for such scenes for my 4*5 as well.

Fabulous image, Julian. Totally love this composition.

Your recent work is getting me motivated to finish up my Coastal Stones project. Thanks.
