I finally was able to capture a photo that I like of the San Francisco coastline.
Thank you in advance for your feedback.

Nice image Alejandro! I really like the composition, water movement and sky.
The only thing I might adjust slightly is the brightness of the forground water to better balance the overall image. It tends to draw the eyes right to the bright region - the lower right near the rocks especially.
Thanks for the feedback. I did a little bit of burning in that area and you can see a more balanced image, I believe.
You can copy paste this link and you'll see the image I posted in my website.

Alejandro,
I'm still on the fence on longer exposure ocean shots that give motion blur to the ocean, but as i have used this technique for creeks rivers cascades and waterfalls I'm tempted to try it for Ocean photography/ The sky in this image is outstanding. My other trouble about longer exposure shot, is I go down to the beach when the surf isi high, and look for the exploding waves aganist the rocks to frame against great skies. Your rework give more texture and life to the fg of your image IMO.

Thank you again.
Yes, I like the updated version - nice work.

Also as an NPN member you can repost an image directly in the thread 'I think', but I am not sure.
