This is wonderful, José! A beautiful monolith, and I love the way the rock in the foreground mirrors the shape of the monolith. You chose a perfect shutter speed to highlight the breaking waves. Elegantly composed and 'developed' just right, too. No nits from me...superb as is! Thanks for posting a larger version.

Very likeable image, José. I really like the stormy sky against the rock formation, and those wonderful warm tones and very nice tidal outflow in the FG. Just curious if you thought about a hair more space at the bottom as an option. Lovely overall work.

Thanks John and Bill for the comments. Bill, with more space at the bottom you can see small rocks at right. But this beach is very changeable and its possible that now are under the sand, thanks again.

I really like the juxtaposition between soft blurred water and jagged, sharp lines in the rocks. Very compelling image, Jose.

Fabulous beach Jose. Love the foreground water action and of course the ominous sky. The turquoise water and monolith certainly complete this wonderful scene.

A fine shot José, when I first saw it I thought it was taken on the Oregon coast, we're so used to seeing images from America that all too often it's easy to forget how beautiful the rest of the world is.
In 2016 I intend to buy a van and really explore Europe, I've seen some wonderful images from North West Spain so I'm looking forward to seeing that coastline.

Many thanks to all for the comments. Andrew, will be a pleasure for me to give you information about this coastline and if you like we can meet on a beach

An outstanding image, Jose! Great movement and subtle color. Shutter speed is effect for my taste. Congratulations on a beautiful image.

Very dramatic with the clouds, the swirls, and that pointed rock (ouch!). The blending looks good. Excellent job seeing and processing!
