Rui,
Beautiful seascape helped out nicely by an excellent composition. I love the smooth rounded boulders as well as the little swirls and interaction of the water around those rocks. I like how they shoreline leads in to the image allowing the viewer to get pulled in to the scene following the cliffs and then up to the colorful sky.
I realize we're looking in to the setting sun and therefore the lighting is appropriate throughout, but I am still kinda wishing for a little bit more brightness in the landscape; just for a tiny bit more detail. But that's a minor nit. Still a lovely and beautifully captured seascape.

Absolutely Beautiful Rui. The boulders make a great FG and the water movement is perfect.

This is a great shot...I like the composition you chose. If I had to be picky, I wish there was a bit more color in the sky, otherwise, terrific shot.

This is gorgeous! Love the composition and colors. The rounded rocks in the foreground contrast nicely with the cliffs in the distance. My only nit (and its extremely minor) would be that the horizon appears slightly tilted clockwise. Beautiful shot!

This is great. I like the water action among the rocks.

This is very very strong Rui. I love the raw force given by the volcanic boulders, and the simple and straight dynamic composition. Well done.

A beautiful shot, Rui. Wonderful detail in the fg rocks, and great color throughout the image. The sky color reflected on the water is very nice.

Terrific shot. BTW the other day I saw a documentary about Azores Islands and I thought it is a place with a lot of photographic possibilities. Your shot confirms my assumption. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Rui. A striking image, well managed light capture and processing. A beautiful rendition of this bay. The brilliant water reflecting those amazing tones range in the sky is impressive. I sure would like to view a larger version to appreciate all detail on this.

Amazing my friend! So bright and texturized. Love the light and composition on this one. The bright reflection and the tone palette is something
