Hummmmm.... I think you'll get split opinions on the rock in the bottom LHC. It's not doing much for me, personally (I like it a tad more without...) and not sure about the sea stack being as semi-centered as it is. Did you take a shot about about 35mm where the stack is more to the Right? You would lose a few cool elements (the rocks in the LRC) but might make a stronger comp... what a sky !

Pretty shot but I kind of feel like I've seen this one before. The rock John speaks of doesn't bother me at all. There may be just a tad too much magenta. IMHO.

^ Yeah. I like the comp, I think its just a little too red.

Thanks for the color suggestions.

It "feels" slightly tilted to the left, Marc, other than that, the photo has a very nice flow (no pun intended) and a lot of interesting stuff to look at all levels.

The lower flow is the best part for me... (any surprise there??) :smile:
