This is fabulous! I love the composition and shutter speed choice here - it really 'flows' visually. If possible, I suggest lightening the deepest shadows to bring some detail in those areas - the blocked out shadows are a distraction.

Many thanks Doug for your comment. That area of the cliff is really black, however upload another version with larger detail that I can get from the brighther exposure. Thanks again

Like this one a lot. The clouds, and of course the wave action, adds a lot of drama to this.

The large view is a real visual treat, Jose. I greatly enjoy seeing these seascapes that are so far from my home. Beautiful work as always. :toast:

The large view is amazing. Great work as always Jose. By the way, did part of your manual blending include focus stack or did you just shoot stopped all the way up? Thanks.

Stunning image Jose, especially the repost. I like the drama created by the rushing water. Excellent shutter speed.

That's a wonderful sea arch, I bet it doesn't last much longer. I just glanced down and saw Doug Roane's comment and yes I would agree the top right of the image is too dark although not by much. I mean the lack of detail in the far right tends to draw my eye towards the middle of the image.

Jose, Just looking at the larger version...Wow! That really grabs your attention and also puts you right there. In the large version the darker area of the rock also looks fine to me. I think the black frame around the small one makes it seem even darker than it really is in that corner. Love the water motion too. A fantastic image! :toast:

Very nice. I think the exposure looks great. Maybe a little dark in the heaviest blacks. The repost looks better imo.

Very nice drama, José. Closer to your style than your last one :) I think the light on the rock might be further emphasized with some brightening of lights. I think that is the highlight of the image (no pun)
