I wish I'd have chosen a shutterspeed that did not blur the clouds here. Any thoughts? Tristan

Great shot Tristan :cool:

the moving clouds compliments the moving water as i see it, well done in all aspects.

Another winner Tristan, though I can see what you mean - you are talking about the lower altitude dark ones yes?

You could always do 2 exposures, and being seascape with a flat and distinct horizon they would be easy to merge.

I love the way the FG water has turned out here - stunning :toast:

I have to agree with your concerns re. the clouds. I'm afraid the amount of movement just makes them look a bit blurred, or a result of camera movement during the exposure. More or less was needed I think.

Hi Tristan

Cloud movement is fine for me, I like it!

Another stunning image, the light on the rocks is superb. Quality stuff. :toast:

cheers

Hi Tristan,

Clouds don't bother me, the rocks and sea take all the attention. Another absolute stunner.

I have no nits or critique so I'll simply say it's a wonderfully dramatic image and I love it.

Tristan, don't look at those clouds too much. They move and that's what they shall be doing. I like mood and simple composition of your photo very much.

Cheers,
Marko
