I love the color palette here and the small bright spot on the cliff face is wonderful

Very nice shape of the rock, facing the waves. The lower two thirds (5x8) of the image make it interesting by itself with the subtle reflections of pink on the rock surface. well done.

That crop suggestion does seem to make a stronger composition Vlad. Thanks.

The waves hitting the rocks are my fav. part of the image. I also the a tight crop including just the surf. Soft colors mixed with the hard textures of the cliffs.

Really lovely color and light. And, I like your tele-extraction comp.

The rose color cast is great. The blue in the breakers works well as a contrast to the rose and adds a lot of action.

The reflected light is simply beautiful. This is a well composed and executed image.

This composition is genius! I never have the nerve to get close up like this..always feel like I need to capture as much space as possible in landscape shots. However, this works beautifully. You really get a sense of the etheral crashing waves against the rock.

Crop and midtone tweak.

Fantastic Kah Kit! I love the color here, the last touches of light on the rocks and the melding of the surf. Wonderful!

I too was thinking a crop and your repost looks better compositionally. I was think similar, but perhaps not as much of a crop. Perhaps just down enough to eliminate the diagonal line of rock at the top. Where and how much to crop of course is ultimately your decision. But what prompted my thought about a crop was the brighter water up up kind of drawing the eye up and away from the main show. In the end it's a tweak and not a nit or a fix. this is just a wonderful image.

My preference is the original Kah Kit. The light is better there for some reason. I enjoy coastal scene like this.

Love this light. Original looks great, but repost is fantastic. There is an ethereal quality to the water there that almost adds a new dimension.

Gorgeous light and color Kah Kit. Although I think both repost crops work well, I prefer the comp of the original. The 2nd repost seems to have more shadow enhancement, which I think could be applied to the original nicely too. I'm not sure I like such a strong color boost though, as it seems to blow out the subtly of the glow that the original had. :smile:
