In the spring the rocks of this beach have an amazing green color then it is time to find beautiful foregrounds.

Yes, it is an amazing color, almost neon. At first I thought it just doesn't fit with all those lovely pastels, but after a few minutes of looking at it I think the juxtaposition is interesting and unusual. The puddle in the lower right corner helps to integrate the foreground with the rest of the photo.

That's a neat pair of rocks. Especially the distant one that has me thinking of a sailboat tacking. The greens on the foreground rock seem over saturated, but they sure stand out against all of the subtle blues in the sky and water. Nicely seen.

That is some crazy green, Jose. Something is throwing this off for me. It could be the softness of the sea sandwiched between the sharp FG and that awesome stack. Although all the elements are outstanding they just don't fit together for me.
