Love the vivid colors, Eva. Very photogenic clouds too, must have been quite a nice photo session with such a foreground as a bonus.

The first thing that jumped out at me was the way the light is reflecting off the rocks, very nice. Nice composition and color.

Eva, When I look at this I just want to be there. I love these rocky shorelines and this one looks great place to be and especially with a sunset like this. Maybe a tad blue but then there was probably a lot of blue reflecting from that part of the sky too. Beautiful scene just as it is anyway. Nice work!
I very much enjoyed your part in the Inspiration Landscape series and all of it was very enjoyable to see and hear.

Hi Eva,

Nice to see an image posted from you!  This is a very nicely composed seascape; I too really like the light on the rocks.  The sky and clouds are cooperating beautifully as well taming that bright sun.

I'm gonna make up a term because I think there's an affliction going on around here.  I'm gonna call it cyan-fluenza.  One can easily discuss personal preference when it comes to the color of the boulders, but for me, the water just below the biggest, triangular shaped boulder is just way too cyan for me.  I think too you may have lost some warmth in those clouds with a general extra does of cyan as well.  

Maybe it's just me, I'll let others chime in.

Here is a version where I toned down the cyans.  Thanks Lon.

Nice comp, and wonderful light! I liked the aqua color in the water, but agree it was a bit too intense. The repost looks great!
