Naval Forces, what was in mind once I saw this huge boulders scattered among the coast.

As usual, your comments and thoughts are more than appreciated

Whoa, loads of drama in this one! I love the size and relief of the sea stacks, and the light and color is impressive.

What an awesome collection of boulders and stacks! Looks like you hit the tide just right and some spectacular light also. The greenish tint in the water looks a little unnatural to me, otherwise this look very nice.

Abdullaziz,
Extraordinary composition. Just caught my eye from the thumbnail version and the larger is even better. I liked the way you balanced the composition, choosing a bigger (closer) rock placed on the right, and the exposure, tones and colors, are just perfect. Congratulations.

That is a crazy sky. Love those rocks. Might be some dead space on the left side but overall lovely capture.

Excellent shot. You've captured the movement in the water at just the right time, and with the perfect exposure. The clouds in the sky complement the lines and texture of the water very nicely. Excellent light as well.

Wonderful. It's nice that you can pull out lots of details on the faces of the back-lit rocks.

Beautiful colors and the layers of waves in the foreground make great leading lines.

Spectacular. The rock formations are amazing and I love how, with your perspective, the rocks create a remarkable vanishing point effect.

Beautiful Aziz! I love the design here and the interactions of lines and color. Great title by the way; these sea rocks do indeed appear like a flotilla of ships. Excellent.

Nice comp, nice water action, nice color, nice processing and I like how the dark side of the rocks are lit. I like it all.
