Ocean Blues

I posted this in ES&S a while ago, but recently re-edited the raw file, bringing out some needed detail in the shadows.

This was about a 30 second exposure about 30mins after sunset.

Thanks for any comments.

Benjamin, another very fine seascape of yours that you seemingly have a fair amount of access to at times. The tight composition on this monolithic giant seems to have worked out very nicely IMO. Hard to make out too much at this size, but I'm sure a large print would provide some great details in the rock structure too.

Benjamin, very nice. It's a lot different from what I've seen you post lately. It's full of mood, I can almost hear the calm ocean.

Benjamin,
I had to adjust my viewing angle on my laptop to get all of the detail on the rock - great job reworking it.

Benjamin,

I think you did well to bring out/reveal some detail in the face of the large rock. What I like and think is more important is the inclusion of the smaller rock and water treatment of the ocean around the base. And to be honest without the elements at the bottom, I think the main rock is a little too dominant for me.

Nice job on pulling some detail out of the rock, but I find the large, very dark area of the rock overwhelms the image for me. Nice composition and I like the sky and water, just too much dark for my tastes.

Hello Benjamin,

There is a certain coldness about this photograph. And that is precisely what draws me to it. I have spent many a days and nights near the oceans and this photograph captures that feeling of being right there perfectly.
