Hi Dennis - Welcome to NPN! Great first post. Nice understated colors in the sky but the clouds add a lot of drama. Great water action too.

Well crafted composition, and the drama in the sky caps off a fine all round seascape.

Beautiful mood here--i love the pastel hues! I kind of prefer it as a 50/50 split--a bit too much rock up front for my tastes.

I will add my welcome to NPN. A lot to like about this image. Nice wave action. But I think the sky is the most impressive part of the image. I agree with Stan that less rock would strengthen the scene.

Thanks to everyone for the warm welcomes to the site! Maybe there is too much rock at the bottom as suggested. It does seem to dominate too much. I will try a crop.
