These lights are the most beautiful I've ever seen, lasted a couple of minutes so only I could do two shots.

Very dramatic Jose! Great job capturing the fleeting light and working it into this dynamic composition. Really well done!

Phenomenal. I don't know which I like better - your capture of the water up close, or the distant tall rocks, bathed in warm sunlight.

Masterful, moody image. Great work. Love to see the two images that were used to blend.

Good blend. Great upper portion of the sea stacks and sky. I like the sea, the foreground rocks and the "swirlies", but I would like it better if there were not quite so much of it.

Beautiful image Jose. I like the motion in the foreground and the red light on the sea stacks in the background. Everything looks really good to me. Well done!

Very well done! The foreground wave action is balanced so nicely with the soft red light on the midground rocks.

Love that golden red light on those formations and how you have achieved incredible dynamic range throughout, as seen in the foreground. Beautifully done.
