Another amazing seascape, Jose. The larger image provides excellent detail throughout the rugged rock formations on display here. This is then backed up by the fine detail also in the cloud formations as well. All processed into one technically very impressive scene overall. :cool:

Really powerful seascape, love the drama and composition. I wonder if the water is a little over-sharpened.

Lots of drama in this seascape, Jose. Everything wworks beautifully together from the mood of the storm clouds to the swirling water below. Very nicely done.

Love the comp, texture in the water, detail in the rocks and the dramatic sky. At first glance the image appear to be quite a bit of edge sharpening, especially the rock in the middle. Maybe it’s just the sharpening you applied to the web version.

Jose, This is really nice! Great look with the more dramatic light which gives this an excellent mood. The sky and water motion adds nice drama to the scene as well. I think your comp works great and love the detail in the foreground rock. :toast:

What an evocative image. Just love the quality of the light in this scene, Jose! Expert processing, too, by the look of the details.

Jose,

Beautifully balanced composition. Great, complimentary sky and just the right balance of rock, sea and sky. No nits or suggestions.
