Wonderful composition, David. The clouds are lovely both in shape and color.

I really like the colors in this image, especially the way the rocks reflect the color of the sky. Very nice comp. Great shot.

Great capture. The sky is lovely and the rocks are nicely exposed. I can imaging being there and feeling the peacefulness.

Nice one David. Lovely clouds and pastel colours.

Aptly named, David.

The fg rocks are wonderful. The higher rocks lead us right into the wonderful cloud lines. The splashing surf is a big bonus. And the dawn colors are sweet.

Beautiful photo.

A very cheery image with the soft morning light and color. Makes me feel the fresh air and salty smell.

Very nice shot, David. The sky is excellent and I like the soft textures of the water against the rocks.

Beautiful sky with those wonderful clouds and nice soft colors. Overall just a wonderful feeling scene. I like this very much David. Cheers

Very strong composition. I love the soft look of the image. However, for my test, I like to see a bit more contrast

David,

What a beautiful pastel sky and seascape. I too like the softness in the ocean and the wave line really provides a great element to the scene. I'm wondering if you spent any more time utilizing those boulders more? I really like the color reflecting off the rounded boulders and would love to have more of them included. You're comp works well as presented, I just see more! The sky, what's to improve there? just beautiful. Nice capture David.

Fairy Floss eh mate?

Love that sky! I might try to enhance the reflected color on the rocks. Perfect timing on the incoming wave.

Gorgeous image David. The diffuse whites give this a really nice dreamy feel. I can see the cotton candy reference here. The midtone highlights seem a bit pronounced to me. I wonder how it would look if you added just a slight amount of contrast to the midtones (but don't change the overall highlight contrast). The easiest way to do that would be with Tony Kuyper's Luminosity masks. It's a very minor point and probably only worth the effort if you plan to print this on gloss. Excellent work.

Really pretty David. The sky is incredible and so is that distant wave. I could see reducing the brightness of the immediate surf just a hair. A well time capture with great conditions.

Thanks guys for your comments and suggestions. My aim was to create a soft, low contrast image that had a very 'light' feel.
*Lon - I've got quite a few shots from this location to process, so yes, there will be more rocks
*Mike - I've slowly started to incorporate TK's masks into my processing. I guess you mean to reduce the brightness of the mids a smidge.. perhaps with the narrow or basic mids mask? Thank-you.

Every comes together nicely David. The sky is a treat and the processing looks pretty good.

Excellent balance between the sky and ground. Love the colors and textures throughout the image.
