I often find the 3:2 ratio of 35mm is not the best suited to landscape photography and I usually prefer a more panoramic format or a classic 5x4 type format. For this shot I cropped from the left and right hand side to try to get a stronger composition.
Again two exposures, one for the sky, one for the beach, blended by hand in PS. Then tweaked around with levels, saturation, etc until I got something I was happy with. I find with landscapes I spend a lot longer fiddling in PhotoShop than I would do for a wildlife shot.
I think this image is stunning, the colours are fantastic, you haven't overdone movement in the sea and the lighting is to die for. I expected to see Joe Cornish's name at the foot of it!
In my humble opinion landscape shots rarely come better than this. I may not know much about photography, but I do know what I like, and this is superb!
